+
+## Our Pledge
+
+We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our
+community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender
+identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
+nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual
+identity and orientation.
+
+We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
+diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our
+community include:
+
+* Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
+* Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
+* Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
+* Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes,
+ and learning from the experience
+* Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the overall
+ community
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or advances of
+ any kind
+* Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email address,
+ without their explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+ professional setting
+
+## Enforcement Responsibilities
+
+Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
+acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive,
+or harmful.
+
+Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
+comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
+not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
+decisions when appropriate.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
+an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
+Examples of representing our community include using an official e-mail address,
+posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at
+contact -@- portagefilelist.de.
+All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
+
+All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
+reporter of any incident.
+
+## Enforcement Guidelines
+
+Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
+the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
+
+### 1. Correction
+
+**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
+unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
+
+**Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing
+clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
+behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
+
+### 2. Warning
+
+**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series of
+actions.
+
+**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
+interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
+those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This

+like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or permanent
+ban.
+
+### 3. Temporary Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including
+sustained inappropriate behavior.
+
+**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
+communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or
+private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
+with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
+Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
+
+### 4. Permanent Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
+standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior, harassment of an

+# How to contribute to Bibliotheca
+
+This project does use the [master branch][masterbranch] as the currently released version.
+The [develop branch][developbranch] is the main branch for improvements and workplace for a future version.
+
+Always write a clear log message for your commits. One-line messages are fine for small changes, but bigger changes should look like this:
+
+ $ git commit -m "A brief summary of the commit
+ >
+ > A paragraph describing what changed and its impact."
+
+## Did you find a bug?
+
+* Use the [master branch][masterbranch] as a base for your pull request.
+* **Ensure the bug was not already reported** by searching on GitHub under [Issues](https://github.com/bananas-repos/bibliotheca-php/issues).
+* If you're unable to find an open issue addressing the problem, [open a new one](https://github.com/bananas-repos/bibliotheca-php/issues/new). Be sure to include a **title and clear description**, as much relevant information as possible, and a **code sample** or an **executable test case** demonstrating the expected behavior that is not occurring.
+
+## Did you write a patch that fixes a bug?
+
+* Use the [master branch][masterbranch] as a base for your pull request.
+* Open a new GitHub pull request with the patch.
+* Ensure the pull request description clearly describes the problem and solution. Include the relevant issue number if applicable.
+
+## Did you fix whitespace, format code, or make a purely cosmetic patch?
+
+Changes that are cosmetic in nature and do not add anything substantial to the stability, functionality, or testability
+will generally not be accepted.
+
+## Do you intend to add a new feature or change an existing one?
+
+* **You need to use the [develop branch][developbranch] as a base to make a GitHub pull request about a feature or improvement.**
+* Open a GitHub pull request based on the [develop branch][developbranch] and include a **title and clear description** also as much relevant information as possible to clearly describe your intentions.
+* Any GitHub pull request will be reviewed carefully. Please be patient, sometimes it can take some time to respond.
+
+## Coding conventions
+
+Start reading the code and you'll get the hang of it. The code is optimized for readability.
