All contributions to Hugo are welcome. Whether you want to scratch an itch, or simply contribute to the project, feel free to pick something from the roadmap
 | 
						|
or contact [spf13](http://spf13.com) about what may make sense
 | 
						|
to do next.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You should fork the project and make your changes.  *We encourage pull requests to discuss code changes.*
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
When you're ready to create a pull request, be sure to:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  * Have test cases for the new code.  If you have questions about how to do it, please ask in your pull request.
 | 
						|
  * Run `go fmt`
 | 
						|
  * Squash your commits into a single commit.  `git rebase -i`.  It's okay to force update your pull request.
 | 
						|
  * Make sure `go test ./...` passes, and `go build` completes.  Our Travis CI loop will catch most things that are missing.  The exception: Windows.  We run on Windows from time to time, but if you have access, please check on a Windows machine too.

# Building from source
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Clone locally (for contributors):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    git clone https://github.com/spf13/hugo
 | 
						|
    cd hugo
 | 
						|
    go get
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Because Go expects all of your libraries to be found in either
 | 
						|
$GOROOT or $GOPATH, it's helpful to symlink the project to one
 | 
						|
of the following paths:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * ln -s /path/to/your/hugo $GOPATH/src/github.com/spf13/hugo
 | 
						|
 * ln -s /path/to/your/hugo $GOROOT/src/pkg/github.com/spf13/hugo
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
