+# Contributing to ComfyUI-DiscordSend
+
+First off, thank you for considering contributing to ComfyUI-DiscordSend! It's people like you that make this such a great tool.
+
+## Code of Conduct
+
+This project and everyone participating in it is governed by the [Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct](https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/2/1/code_of_conduct/). By participating, you are expected to uphold this code.
+
+## How Can I Contribute?
+
+### Reporting Bugs
+
+If you've noticed a bug, [open a new issue](https://github.com/AEmotionStudio/ComfyUI-DiscordSend/issues/new)! It's generally best if you get confirmation of your bug this way before starting to code.
+
+### Suggesting Enhancements
+
+If you have a feature request, [open a new issue](https://github.com/AEmotionStudio/ComfyUI-DiscordSend/issues/new)! It's generally best to get approval for your feature request this way before starting to code.
+
+### Your First Code Contribution
+
+Unsure where to begin contributing? You can start by looking through `good first issue` and `help wanted` issues:
+* [Good first issues](https://github.com/AEmotionStudio/ComfyUI-DiscordSend/labels/good%20first%20issue) - issues which should only require a few lines of code, and a test or two.
+* [Help wanted issues](https://github.com/AEmotionStudio/ComfyUI-DiscordSend/labels/help%20wanted) - issues which should be a bit more involved than `good first issue` issues.
+
+### Pull Requests
+
+1.  **Fork & create a branch.** [Fork the repository](https://github.com/AEmotionStudio/ComfyUI-DiscordSend/fork) and create a branch with a descriptive name. A good branch name would be (where issue #325 is the ticket you're working on): `git checkout -b 325-add-japanese-translations`
+2.  **Set up your development environment.** To get started, you'll want to clone the repository and set up a virtual environment.
+    ```sh
+    git clone https://github.com/AEmotionStudio/ComfyUI-DiscordSend.git
+    cd ComfyUI-DiscordSend
+    python -m venv venv
+    source venv/bin/activate
+    pip install -r requirements.txt
+    ```
+3.  **Implement your fix or feature.** At this point, you're ready to make your changes! Feel free to ask for help; everyone is a beginner at first.
+4.  **Make a Pull Request.** At this point, you should switch back to your `master` branch and make sure it's up to date with the latest upstream version of the repository.
+    ```sh
+    git remote add upstream git@github.com:AEmotionStudio/ComfyUI-DiscordSend.git
+    git checkout master
+    git pull upstream master
+    ```
+    Then update your feature branch from your local copy of `master`, and push it!
+    ```sh
+    git checkout 325-add-japanese-translations
+    git rebase master
+    git push --force-with-lease origin 325-add-japanese-translations
+    ```
+    Finally, go to GitHub and [make a Pull Request](https://github.com/AEmotionStudio/ComfyUI-DiscordSend/compare).
+
+## Styleguides
+
+### Git Commit Messages
+
+*   Use the present tense ("Add feature" not "Added feature").
+*   Use the imperative mood ("Move cursor to..." not "Moves cursor to...").
+*   Limit the first line to 72 characters or less.
+*   Reference issues and pull requests liberally after the first line.
+
+### Python Styleguide
+
+All Python code should adhere to [PEP 8](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/).
