We would love to hear from you. + +Note that this repository contains solely the documentation for Hugo. For contributions that aren't documentation-related please refer to the [hugo](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo) repository. + +*Pull requests shall **only** contain changes to the actual documentation. However, changes on the codebase of Hugo **and** the documentation shall be a single, atomic pull request in the [hugo](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo) repository.* + +Spelling fixes are most welcomed, and if you want to contribute longer sections to the documentation, it would be great if you had the following criteria in mind when writing: + +* Short is good. People go to the library to read novels. If there is more than one way to _do a thing_ in Hugo, describe the current _best practice_ (avoid "… but you can also do …" and "… in older versions of Hugo you had to …". +* For example, try to find short snippets that teaches people about the concept. If the example is also useful as-is (copy and paste), then great. Don't list long and similar examples just so people can use them on their sites. +* Hugo has users from all over the world, so easy to understand and [simple English](https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_English) is good. + +## Branches + +* The `master` branch is where the site is automatically built from, and is the place to put changes relevant to the current Hugo version. +* The `next` branch is where we store changes that are related to the next Hugo release.
