+
+  - [Bug Reports](#bug-reports)
+  - [Feature Requests](#features)
+  - [Submitting Pull Requests](#submitting-pull-requests)
+
+### Reporting an issue
+
+The GitHub issue tracker is the preferred channel for bug reports, change requests and submitting pull requests, but please respect the following restrictions:
+
+- Please check if a similar issue already exists
+- For personal support requests, please contact us on [Discord](https://mqp.io/discord)
+
+## Bug Reports
+
+If you find a bug, please follow these Guidelines:
+
+- Check if the issue already has been reported using the github issue search
+- Try to reproduce the bug using the latest release build
+- Include as much info as possible!
+- Include details about your environment
+
+## Feature Requests
+
+If you've got a great idea, we want to hear about it. Before making a suggestion, here are a few tips on what to consider:
+
+- Check if something similar already has been requested
+- Try to provide as much detail and context as possible
+
+## Submitting Pull Requests
+
+It's awesome that you want to help by creating a PR! If there isn't already an issue for your feature/bugfix, think about creating one first. This can help getting feedback and more more information. Guidelines:
+
+- Always send PRs to the 'develop' branch!
+- Try to name your branch after this schema:
+
+  Bugfix: `bugfix/mybugfix`
+
+  Feature: `feature/myfeature`
+
+- Please ensure that bugfixes work on both `master (stable)` and `develop (unstable)`
+
+- Always write a clear log message for your commits. One-line messages are fine for small changes, but bigger changes should look like this:
+
+  ```
+  $ A brief summary of the commit
+  > 
+  > closes #Issue
+  > - A paragraph describing what changed and its impact
+  ```
+
+- Also, try to clean up your git history or we'll squash and merge.
