Note: by contributing code to the Redis project in any form, including sending
a pull request via Github, a code fragment or patch via private email or

# IMPORTANT: HOW TO USE REDIS GITHUB ISSUES

* Github issues SHOULD ONLY BE USED to report bugs, and for DETAILED feature
  requests. Everything else belongs to the Redis Google Group.

  PLEASE DO NOT POST GENERAL QUESTIONS that are not about bugs or suspected
  bugs in the Github issues system. We'll be very happy to help you and provide
  all the support in the Redis Google Group.

  Redis Google Group address:
  
      https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/redis-db

# How to provide a patch for a new feature

1. If it is a major feature or a semantical change, write an RCP (Redis Change Proposal). Check the documentation here: https://github.com/redis/redis-rcp

2. If in step 1 you get an acknowledge from the project leaders, use the
   following procedure to submit a patch:

    a. Fork Redis on github ( http://help.github.com/fork-a-repo/ )
    b. Create a topic branch (git checkout -b my_branch)
    c. Push to your branch (git push origin my_branch)
    d. Initiate a pull request on github ( http://help.github.com/send-pull-requests/ )
    e. Done :)

For minor fixes just open a pull request on Github.

Thanks!
