We love your input! We want to make contributing to YOLOv5 as easy and transparent as possible, whether it's:
- Reporting a bug
- Discussing the current state of the code
- Submitting a fix
- Proposing a new feature
- Becoming a maintainer
YOLOv5 works so well due to our combined community effort, and for every small improvement you contribute you will be helping push the frontiers of what's possible in AI 😃!
Click on the **Preview changes** tab to verify your updates. At the bottom of the screen select 'Create a **new branch** for this commit', assign your branch a descriptive name such as `fix/matplotlib_version` and click the green **Propose changes** button. All done, your PR is now submitted to YOLOv5 for review and approval 😃!
To allow your work to be integrated as seamlessly as possible, we advise you to:
- ✅ Verify your PR is **up-to-date with origin/master.** If your PR is behind origin/master an automatic [GitHub actions](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/blob/master/.github/workflows/rebase.yml) rebase may be attempted by including the /rebase command in a comment body, or by running the following code, replacing 'feature' with the name of your local branch:
- ✅ Verify all Continuous Integration (CI) **checks are passing**.
- ✅ Reduce changes to the absolute **minimum** required for your bug fix or feature addition. _"It is not daily increase but daily decrease, hack away the unessential. The closer to the source, the less wastage there is."_ -Bruce Lee
If you spot a problem with YOLOv5 please submit a Bug Report!
For us to start investigating a possibel problem we need to be able to reproduce it ourselves first. We've created a few short guidelines below to help users provide what we need in order to get started.
When asking a question, people will be better able to provide help if you provide **code** that they can easily understand and use to **reproduce** the problem. This is referred to by community members as creating a [minimum reproducible example](https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example). Your code that reproduces the problem should be:
* ✅ **Minimal**– Use as little code as possible that still produces the same problem
* ✅ **Complete**– Provide **all** parts someone else needs to reproduce your problem in the question itself
* ✅ **Reproducible**– Test the code you're about to provide to make sure it reproduces the problem
In addition to the above requirements, for [Ultralytics](https://ultralytics.com/) to provide assistance your code should be:
* ✅ **Current**– Verify that your code is up-to-date with current GitHub [master](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/tree/master), and if necessary `git pull` or `git clone` a new copy to ensure your problem has not already been resolved by previous commits.
* ✅ **Unmodified**– Your problem must be reproducible without any modifications to the codebase in this repository. [Ultralytics](https://ultralytics.com/) does not provide support for custom code ⚠️.
If you believe your problem meets all of the above criteria, please close this issue and raise a new one using the 🐛 **Bug Report** [template](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/issues/new/choose) and providing a [minimum reproducible example](https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example) to help us better understand and diagnose your problem.
