+# How to Contribute
+
+## Pull Requests
+
+1. Fork this repository
+2. Create a new branch for each feature or improvement
+3. Send a pull request from each feature branch to the **master** branch
+
+It is very important to separate new features or improvements into separate 
+feature branches, and to send a pull request for each branch. This allows me to 
+review and pull in new features or improvements individually.
+
+## Style Guide
+
+All pull requests must adhere to the [PSR-2 standard](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-2-coding-style-guide.md).
+
+## Unit Testing
+
+All pull requests must be accompanied by passing unit tests and complete code 
+coverage. The Slim Framework uses phpunit for testing.
