Contributing
============

Thank you for your interest in contributing to ``cuda-pathfinder``! Based on the type of contribution, it will fall into two categories:

1. You want to report a bug, feature request, or documentation issue
    - File an `issue <https://github.com/NVIDIA/cuda-python/issues/new/choose>`_ describing what you encountered or what you want to see changed.
    - The NVIDIA team will evaluate the issues and triage them, scheduling
      them for a release. If you believe the issue needs priority attention
      comment on the issue to notify the team.
2. You want to implement a feature, improvement, or bug fix
    - Before starting work on an existing issue, please comment on the issue to express your interest and wait to be assigned by a maintainer. This helps avoid redundant effort in case the issue is already being worked on by another contributor or an NVIDIA team member.
    - Please ensure that your commits are signed `following GitHub's instruction <https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/managing-commit-signature-verification/about-commit-signature-verification>`_.
