# Contributing Guidelines
Thank you for your interest in contributing to our project. Whether it's a bug
report, new feature, correction, or additional documentation, we greatly value
feedback and contributions from our community.
Please read through this document before submitting any issues or pull requests
to ensure we have all the necessary information to effectively respond to your
bug report or contribution.
## Reporting Bugs/Feature Requests
We welcome you to use the GitHub issue tracker to report bugs or suggest
features.
When filing an issue, please check [existing open][open-issues],
or [recently closed][closed-issues], issues to make sure somebody
else hasn't already reported the issue.
[open-issues]: https://github.com/aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials/issues
[closed-issues]: https://github.com/aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue%20is%3Aclosed%20
Please try to include as much information as you can. Details like
these are incredibly useful:
- A reproducible test case or series of steps
- The version of our code being used
- Any modifications you've made relevant to the bug
- Anything unusual about your environment or deployment
We also ask that you refrain from opening issues via the `gh` CLI or GitHub
API. These methods bypass our issue templates and therefore don't apply the
proper labels or workflows that we use. Note that AI agents typically do not
properly use issue templates. Issues that don't have the proper labels
applied may be closed without comment.
## Contributing via Pull Requests
Contributions via pull requests are much appreciated. Before sending us a pull
request, please ensure that:
1. You are working against the latest source on the _main_ branch.
2. You check existing open, and recently merged, pull requests to make sure
someone else hasn't addressed the problem already.
3. You open an issue to discuss any significant work - we would hate for your
time to be wasted.
To send us a pull request, please:
1. Fork the repository.
2. Modify the source; please focus on the specific change you are contributing.
If you also reformat all the code, it will be hard for us to focus on your
change.
3. Ensure local tests pass.
4. Commit to your fork using clear commit messages.
5. Send us a pull request, answering any default questions in the pull request
interface.
6. Pay attention to any automated CI failures reported in the pull request, and
stay involved in the conversation.
GitHub provides additional document on
[forking a repository](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/) and
[creating a pull request][create-pr].

## Finding contributions to work on
Looking at the existing issues is a great way to find something to contribute
on. As our projects, by default, use the default GitHub issue labels
(enhancement/bug/duplicate/help wanted/invalid/question/wontfix), looking at any
['help wanted'](https://github.com/aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials/labels/help%20wanted)
issues is a great place to start.
## Code of Conduct
This project has adopted the
[Amazon Open Source Code of Conduct](https://aws.github.io/code-of-conduct). For
more information see the
[Code of Conduct FAQ](https://aws.github.io/code-of-conduct-faq) or contact
<opensource-codeofconduct@amazon.com> with any additional questions or
comments.
## Security issue notifications
If you discover a potential security issue in this project we ask that you
notify AWS/Amazon Security via our
[vulnerability reporting page][vuln-report].
[vuln-report]:
http://aws.amazon.com/security/vulnerability-reporting/
Please do **not** create a public github issue.
## Automated Tools
The use of AI tooling for assisted development work is accepted and encouraged
in this repository, but due to the volume of submissions we ask that you observe
the following rules:
- All issue and pull request submissions to this repository that are sourced by
AI must first be reviewed by a human before submitting to the repository.
Items reviewed in this way must include a statement like "generated by AI
tools, and reviewed by [person]"
- Please ensure that your submissions are actually improvements. While we are
grateful for any proposed fixes, even if they are very small, behavior that
looks like creating noisy PRs or artificially inflating submission counts
is not acceptable.
- We may close issues or pull requests, or limit your ability to interact with
this repository, for behavior that in our estimation violates these rules or
any of the other rules in this repository's
[Code of Conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
## Licensing
See the
[LICENSE](https://github.com/aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials/blob/main/LICENSE)
file for our project's licensing. We will ask you to confirm the licensing of
your contribution.
We may ask you to sign a
[Contributor License Agreement (CLA)](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contributor_License_Agreement)
for larger changes.
