# How to contribute
## Before submitting an issue
1. Upgrade to the latest version of pgBadger and see if the problem remains
2. Look at the [closed issues](https://github.com/darold/pgbadger/issues?state=closed), we may have already answered a similar problem
3. [Read the doc](http://pgbadger.darold.net/documentation.html), it is short and useful
## Coding style
The pgBadger project provides a [.editorconfig](http://editorconfig.org/) file to
setup consistent spacing in files. Please follow it!
## Keep documentation updated
The first pgBadger documentation is `pgbadger --help`. `--help` fills the
SYNOPSIS section in `doc/pgBadger.pod`. The DESCRIPTION section *must* be
written directly in `doc/pgBadger.pod`. `README` is the text formatting of
`doc/pgBadger.pod`.
After updating `doc/pdBadger.pod`, rebuild `README` and `README.md` with the following commands:
```shell
$ perl Makefile.PL && make README
```
When you're done contributing to the docs, commit your changes. Note that you must have `pod2markdown` installed to generate `README.md`.
