+
+The following is a set of guidelines for contributing to unit-wasm.  We do
+appreciate that you are considering contributing!

+
+
+## Getting Started
+
+Check out the [README](README.md).
+
+
+## Ask a Question
+
+Please open an [issue](https://github.com/nginx/unit-wasm/issues/new) on
+GitHub with the label `question`.  You can also ask a question on
+[Slack](https://nginxcommunity.slack.com) or the NGINX Unit mailing list,
+unit@nginx.org (subscribe
+[here](https://mailman.nginx.org/mailman3/lists/unit.nginx.org/)).
+
+
+## Contributing
+
+### Report a Bug
+
+Ensure the bug was not already reported by searching on GitHub under
+[Issues](https://github.com/nginx/unit-wasm/issues).
+
+If the bug is a potential security vulnerability, please report using our
+[security policy](https://unit.nginx.org/troubleshooting/#getting-support).
+
+To report a non-security bug, open an
+[issue](https://github.com/nginx/unit-wasm/issues/new) on GitHub with the
+label `bug`.  Be sure to include a title and clear description, as much
+relevant information as possible, and a code sample or an executable test
+case showing the expected behavior that doesn't occur.
+
+
+### Suggest an Enhancement
+
+To suggest an enhancement, open an
+[issue](https://github.com/nginx/unit/issues/new) on GitHub with the label
+`enhancement`.  Please do this before implementing a new feature to discuss
+the feature first.
+
+
+### Open a Pull Request
+
+Clone the repo, create a branch, and submit a PR when your changes are tested
+and ready for review.  Again, if you'd like to implement a new feature, please
+consider creating a feature request issue first to start a discussion about
+the feature.
+
+
+## Git Style Guide
+
+- Split your work into multiple commits is necessary. Each commit should make
+  one logical change. I.e don't mix code re-formatting with a fix in the same
+  commit.
+
+- Subject lines should be short (around 50 characters, not a hard rule) and
+  concisely describe the change.
+
+- The commit message body should be limited to 72 character lines.
+
+- You can use subject line prefixes for commits that affect a specific
+  portion of the code; examples include "libunit-wasm:" and "rust-bindings:".
+
+- Reference issues and PRs at the end of the commit messages, e.g if the
+  commit remedies a GitHub issue add a tag like
+
+    Closes: <https://github.com/nginx/unit-wasm/issues/NNN>
+
+  If the commit fixes an issue introduced in a previous commit use the "Fixes"
+  tag to reference it, e.g
+
+    Fixes: abbrev commit id ("Commit subject line")
