+We welcome contributions to Hugo of any kind including documentation, suggestions, bug reports, pull requests etc. Also check out our [contribution guide](https://gohugo.io/contribute/documentation/). We would love to hear from you.

+
+*Pull requests shall **only** contain changes to the actual documentation. However, changes on the code base of Hugo **and** the documentation shall be a single, atomic pull request in the [hugo](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo) repository.*
