+# Contributing to excel-parser-processor
+
+We would love for you to contribute to excel-parser-processor and help make it even better than it is
+today! As a contributor, here are the guidelines we would like you to follow:
+
+ - [Code of Conduct](#coc)
+ - [Question or Problem?](#question)
+ - [Issues and Bugs](#issue)
+ - [Feature Requests](#feature)
+ - [Submission Guidelines](#submit)
+ - [Coding Rules](#rules)
+ - [Commit Message Guidelines](#commit)
+
+## <a name="coc"></a> Code of Conduct
+Help us keep excel-parser-processor open and inclusive. Please read and follow our [Code of Conduct][coc].
+
+## <a name="question"></a> Got a Question or Problem?
+
+Do not open issues for general support questions as we want to keep GitHub issues for bug reports and feature requests.
+You've got much better chances of getting your question answered in real-time, you can reach out via [our gitter channel][gitter].
+
+To save your and our time, we will systematically close all issues that are requests for general support and redirect people to gitter channel.
+
+## <a name="issue"></a> Found a Bug?
+If you find a bug in the source code, you can help us by
+[submitting an issue](#submit-issue) to our [GitHub Repository][github]. Even better, you can
+[submit a Pull Request](#submit-pr) with a fix.
+
+## <a name="feature"></a> Missing a Feature?
+You can *request* a new feature by [submitting an issue](#submit-issue) to our GitHub
+Repository. If you would like to *implement* a new feature, please submit an issue with
+a  for your work first, to be sure that we can use it.
+Please consider what kind of change it is:
+
+* For a **Major Feature**, first open an issue and outline your proposal so that it can be
+discussed. This will also allow us to better coordinate our efforts, prevent duplication of work,
+and help you to craft the change so that it is successfully accepted into the project.
+* **Small Features** can be crafted and directly [submitted as a Pull Request](#submit-pr).
+
+## <a name="submit"></a> Submission Guidelines
+
+### <a name="submit-issue"></a> Submitting an Issue
+
+Before you submit an issue, please search the issue tracker, maybe an issue for your problem already exists and the discussion might inform you of workarounds readily available.
+
+We want to fix all the issues as soon as possible, but before fixing a bug we need to reproduce and confirm it. 
+In order to reproduce bugs we will systematically ask you to provide a minimal reproduction scenario by attaching the excel file that caused an error, or the updated source code that caused 
+the error. A reproducible scenario gives us wealth of important information without going back & forth to you with additional questions like:
+
+- version of excel-parser-processor used
+- 3rd-party libraries and their versions
+- and most importantly - a use-case that fails
+
+We will be insisting on a minimal reproduce scenario in order to save maintainers time and ultimately be able to fix more bugs. Interestingly, from our experience users often find coding problems themselves while preparing a minimal plunk. We understand that sometimes it might be hard to extract essentials bits of code from a larger code-base but we really need to isolate the problem before we can fix it.
+
+Unfortunately we are not able to investigate / fix bugs without a minimal reproduction, so if we don't hear back from you we are going to close an issue that don't have enough info to be reproduced.
+
+You can file new issues by filling out our [new issue form](https://github.com/btargac/excel-parser-processor/issues/new).
+
+
+### <a name="submit-pr"></a> Submitting a Pull Request (PR)
+Before you submit your Pull Request (PR) consider the following guidelines:
+
+* Search [GitHub](https://github.com/btargac/excel-parser-processor/pulls) for an open or closed PR
+  that relates to your submission. You don't want to duplicate effort.
+* Make your changes in a new git branch:
+
+     ```shell
+     git checkout -b my-fix-branch master
+     ```
+
+* Create your patch, **including appropriate test cases**.
+* Follow our [Coding Rules](#rules).
+* Run the full excel-parser-processor test suite, and ensure that all tests pass.
+* Commit your changes using a descriptive commit message that follows our
+  [commit message conventions](#commit). Adherence to these conventions
+  is necessary because release notes are automatically generated from these messages.
+
+     ```shell
+     git commit -a
+     ```
+  Note: the optional commit `-a` command line option will automatically "add" and "rm" edited files.
+
+* Push your branch to GitHub:
+
+    ```shell
+    git push origin my-fix-branch
+    ```
+
+* In GitHub, send a pull request to `excel-parser-processor:master`.
+* If we suggest changes then:
+  * Make the required updates.
+  * Re-run the excel-parser-processor test suites to ensure tests are still passing.
+  * Rebase your branch and force push to your GitHub repository (this will update your Pull Request):
+
+    ```shell
+    git rebase master -i
+    git push -f
+    ```
+
+That's it! Thank you for your contribution!
+
+#### After your pull request is merged
+
+After your pull request is merged, you can safely delete your branch and pull the changes
+from the main (upstream) repository:
+
+* Delete the remote branch on GitHub either through the GitHub web UI or your local shell as follows:
+
+    ```shell
+    git push origin --delete my-fix-branch
+    ```
+
+* Check out the master branch:
+
+    ```shell
+    git checkout master -f
+    ```
+
+* Delete the local branch:
+
+    ```shell
+    git branch -D my-fix-branch
+    ```
+
+* Update your master with the latest upstream version:
+
+    ```shell
+    git pull --ff upstream master
+    ```
+
+## <a name="rules"></a> Coding Rules
+To ensure consistency throughout the source code, keep these rules in mind as you are working:
+
+* All features or bug fixes **must be tested** by one or more specs (unit-tests).
+* All public API methods **must be documented**.
+
+## <a name="commit"></a> Commit Message Guidelines
+
+We have very precise rules over how our git commit messages can be formatted.  This leads to **more
+readable messages** that are easy to follow when looking through the **project history**.  But also,
+we use the git commit messages to **generate the excel-parser-processor change log**.
+
+### Commit Message Format
+Each commit message consists of a **header**, a **body** and a **footer**.  The header has a special
+format that includes a **type**, a **scope** and a **subject**:
+
+```
+<type>(<scope>): <subject>
+<BLANK LINE>
+<body>
+<BLANK LINE>
+<footer>
+```
+
+The **header** is mandatory and the **scope** of the header is optional.
+
+Any line of the commit message cannot be longer 100 characters! This allows the message to be easier
+to read on GitHub as well as in various git tools.
+
+Footer should contain a [closing reference to an issue](https://help.github.com/articles/closing-issues-via-commit-messages/) if any.
+
+Samples: (even more [samples](https://github.com/btargac/excel-parser-processor/commits/master))
+
+```
+docs(changelog): update change log to beta.5
+```
+```
+fix(release): need to depend on latest electron
+
+The version in our package.json gets copied to the one we publish, and users need the latest of these.
+```
+
+### Revert
+If the commit reverts a previous commit, it should begin with `revert: `, followed by the header of the reverted commit.
+In the body it should say: `This reverts commit <hash>.`, where the hash is the SHA of the commit being reverted.
+
+### Type
+Must be one of the following:
+
+* **build**: Changes that affect the build system or external dependencies (example scopes: gulp, broccoli, npm)
+* **ci**: Changes to our CI configuration files and scripts (example scopes: Travis, Circle, BrowserStack, SauceLabs)
+* **docs**: Documentation only changes
+* **feat**: A new feature
+* **fix**: A bug fix
+* **perf**: A code change that improves performance
+* **refactor**: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
+* **style**: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc)
+* **test**: Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests
+
+### Scope
+The scope should be the name of the module affected (folder name or other meaningful words), and should prefix with *module:* (as perceived by person reading changelog generated from commit messages.
+
+The following are some examples:
+
+* **module:http**
+* **module:xlsx**
+* **module:OTHER_COMPONENT_NAME**
+
+There are currently a few exceptions to the "use module name" rule:
+
+* **packaging**: used for changes that change the npm package layout, e.g. public path changes, package.json changes, d.ts file/format changes, changes to bundles, etc.
+* **changelog**: used for updating the release notes in CHANGELOG.md
+* none/empty string: useful for `style`, `test` and `refactor` changes that are done across all packages (e.g. `style: add missing semicolons`)
+
+### Subject
+The subject contains succinct description of the change:
+
+* use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes"
+* don't capitalize first letter
+* no dot (.) at the end
+
+### Body
+Just as in the **subject**, use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes".
+The body should include the motivation for the change and contrast this with previous behavior.
+
+### Footer
+The footer should contain any information about **Breaking Changes** and is also the place to
+reference GitHub issues that this commit **Closes**.
+
+**Breaking Changes** should start with the word `BREAKING CHANGE:` with a space or two newlines. The rest of the commit message is then used for this.
+
+A detailed explanation can be found in this [document][commit-message-format].
