look at the standard [development environment setup] guide,
and Metasploit's [Common Coding Mistakes].
## Code Contributions
* **Do** stick to the [Ruby style guide](https://github.com/bbatsov/ruby-style-guide).
* **Do** get [Rubocop](https://rubygems.org/search?query=rubocop) relatively quiet against the code you are adding or modifying.
* **Do** follow the [50/72 rule](http://tbaggery.com/2008/04/19/a-note-about-git-commit-messages.html) for Git commit messages.
* **Don't** use the default merge messages when merging from other
branches.
* **Do** create a [topic branch](http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Branching-Branching-Workflows#Topic-Branches) to work on instead of working directly on `master`.
* **Do** stick to the [Ruby style guide].
* **Do** get [Rubocop] relatively quiet against the code you are adding or modifying.
* **Do** follow the [50/72 rule] for Git commit messages.

### Pull Requests
* **Do** target your pull request to the **master branch**. Not staging, not develop, not release.
* **Do** specify a descriptive title to make searching for your pull request easier.
* **Do** include [console output](https://help.github.com/articles/github-flavored-markdown#fenced-code-blocks), especially for witnessable effects in `msfconsole`.
* **Do** list [verification steps](https://help.github.com/articles/writing-on-github#task-lists) so your code is testable.

* **Do** list [verification steps] so your code is testable.
* **Don't** leave your pull request description blank.
* **Don't** abandon your pull request. Being responsive helps us land your code faster.
Pull requests [#2940](https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/2940) and [#3043](https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/3043) are a couple good examples to follow.
Pull requests [PR#2940] and [PR#3043] are a couple good examples to follow.
#### New Modules
* **Do** run `tools/msftidy.rb` against your module and fix any errors or warnings that come up. Even better would be to set up `msftidy.rb` as a [pre-commit hook](https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/blob/master/tools/dev/pre-commit-hook.rb).
* **Do** use the [many module mixin APIs](https://rapid7.github.io/metasploit-framework/api/). Wheel improvements are welcome; wheel reinventions, not so much.

* **Do** use the many module mixin [API]s. Wheel improvements are welcome; wheel reinventions, not so much.
* **Don't** include more than one module per pull request.
#### Scripts
* **Don't** submit new [scripts]. Scripts are shipped as examples for
automating local tasks, and anything "serious" can be done with post
modules and local exploits.
#### Library Code
* **Do** write [RSpec](http://rspec.info/) tests - even the smallest change in library land can thoroughly screw things up.
* **Do** follow [Better Specs](http://betterspecs.org/) - it's like the style guide for specs.
* **Do** write [YARD](http://yardoc.org/) documentation - this makes it easier for people to use your code.

* **Do** write [YARD] documentation - this makes it easier for people to use your code.
* **Don't** fix a lot of things in one pull request. Small fixes are easier to validate.
#### Bug Fixes
* **Do** include reproduction steps in the form of verification steps.
* **Do** include a link to any corresponding [Issue](https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/issues) in the format of `See #1234` in your commit description.
