# Contributing to Vim
Patches are welcome in whatever form.
Discussions about patches happen on the vim-dev maillist.
If you create a pull request on GitHub it will be
forwarded to the vim-dev maillist. You can also send your patch there
directly. An attachment with a unified diff format is preferred.
Information about the maillist can be found [on the Vim website].
[on the Vim website]: http://www.vim.org/maillist.php#vim-dev
Please consider adding a test. Test coverage isn't very good yet, this needs
to improve. Look through recent patches for examples. The tests are located
under "src/testdir".
# Reporting issues
We use GitHub issues, but that is not a requirement. Writing to the Vim
maillist is also fine.
Please use the GitHub issues only for actual issues. If you are not 100% sure
that your problem is a Vim issue, please first discuss this on the Vim user
maillist. Try reproducing the problem without any plugins or settings:
vim -N -u NONE
If you report an issue, please describe exactly how to reproduce it.
For example, don't say "insert some text" but say what you did exactly:
"ahere is some text<Esc>". Ideally, the steps you list can be used to write a
test to verify the problem is fixed.
Feel free to report even the smallest problem, also typos in the documentation.
You can find known issues in the todo file: ":help todo".
Or open [the todo file] on GitHub to see the latest version.
