+# Contributing to xarray
+
+## Usage questions
+
+The best places to submit questions about how to use xarray are
+[Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/python-xarray) and
+the [xarray Google group](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/xarray).
+
+## Reporting issues
+
+When reporting issues please include as much detail as possible about your
+operating system, xarray version and python version. Whenever possible, please
+also include a brief, self-contained code example that demonstrates the problem.
+
+## Contributing code
+
+Thanks for your interest in contributing code to xarray!
+
+- If you are new to Git or Github, please take a minute to read through a few tutorials
+  on [Git](https://git-scm.com/docs/gittutorial) and [GitHub](https://guides.github.com/).
+- The basic workflow for contributing to xarray is:
+  1. [Fork](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/) the xarray repository
+  2. [Clone](https://help.github.com/articles/cloning-a-repository/) the xarray repository to create a local copy on your computer:
+    ```
+    git clone [email protected]:${user}/xarray.git
+    cd xarray
+    ```
+  3. Create a branch for your changes
+    ```
+    git checkout -b name-of-your-branch
+    ```      
+  4. Make change to your local copy of the xarray repository
+  5. Commit those changes
+    ```
+    git add file1 file2 file3
+    git commit -m 'a descriptive commit message'
+    ```
+  6. Push your updated branch to your fork
+    ```
+    git push origin name-of-your-branch
+    ```
+  7. [Open a pull request](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request/) to the pydata/xarray repository.
