+
+## Contributing Code
+
+This repo uses Github pull requests (PRs) to stage and review code before merging it into the `main` branch. See the [Github docs](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request-from-a-fork) for basics.
+
+Before submitting your pull request, please run the local checks to ensure all tests pass. This helps speed up the review process.
