# Contributing > _A real community, however, exists only when its members interact in a meaningful way that deepens their understanding of each other and leads to learning._ If you would like to support this project, have an interesting idea how to improve the operation of this tool, or if you found some errors - fork this, add your fixes, and add a pull request of your branch to the **master branch**. ## Using the issue tracker The [issue tracker](https://github.com/trimstray/the-book-of-secret-knowledge/issues) is the preferred channel for bug reports, features requests and submitting pull requests, but please respect the following restrictions: * Please **do not** use the issue tracker for personal support requests (use [Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com) or IRC) * Please **do not** derail or troll issues. Keep the discussion on topic and respect the opinions of others ## Signature of commit Moving forward all commits to this project must include a "signed-off-by" line indicating the name and email address of the contributor signing off on the change. To enable signatures add the following lines to `.git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg` : ``` SOB=$(git var GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT | sed -n 's/^\(.*>\).*$/- signed-off-by: \1/p') grep -qs "^$SOB" "$1" || echo "$SOB" >> "$1" ``` ## Pull requests When creating a pull request, please heed the following: - Base your code on the latest master branch to avoid manual merges - Code review may ensue in order to help shape your proposal - Explain the problem and your proposed solution - One-line description - please don't continue the description on new lines ## How to find broken links? ```bash git clone https://github.com/trimstray/the-book-of-secret-knowledge && cd the-book-of-secret-knowledge for i in $(sed -n 's/.*href="\([^"]*\).*/\1/p' README.md | grep -v "^#") ; do _rcode=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" "$i") if [[ "$_rcode" != "2"* ]] ; then echo " -> $i - $_rcode" ; fi done ``` Result: ```bash -> https://ghostproject.fr/ - 503 -> http://www.mmnt.net/ - 302 -> https://search.weleakinfo.com/ - 503 [...] ```
