 We'd love you to contribute to Homebrew. First, please read our [Contribution Guide](https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) and [Code of Conduct](https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/master/CODEOFCONDUCT.md#code-of-conduct).
 
 We explicitly welcome contributions from people who have never contributed to open-source before: we were all beginners once! We can help build on a partially working pull request with the aim of getting it merged. We are also actively seeking to diversify our contributors and especially welcome contributions from women from all backgrounds and people of colour.
