## Got a Question, Issue or Idea?
If you have questions about how to use a component or element in Momentum-UI, please look through the documentation first. If you still need help, please direct your questions to the Toolkit Q&A Webex Teams space. [Request an Invite to the Teams space](mailto:toolkit-info@cisco.com?subject=MomentumUI%20Q%26A%20Webex%20Teams%20space&body=Please%20add%20me%20to%20the%20MomentumUI%20Q%26A%20Webex%20Teams%20space)
### Found an Issue?
If you find a bug in the source code or a mistake in the documentation, you can help us by
submitting an issue to our [GitHub Repository](https://github.com/momentum-design/momentum-ui/issues). Even better you can submit a Pull Request
with a fix.
### Guidelines to report an Issue
Help us to maximize the effort we can spend fixing issues and adding new features, by not reporting duplicate issues. Please provide the following information to increase the chances of your issue being dealt with quickly:
* **Overview of the Issue** - Explain what issue you are seeing and attach a screenshot if possible.
* **Motivation for or Use Case** - Explain why this is a bug
* **Momentum-UI Version(s)** - What library(ies) and version(s) are you using?
* **Browsers and Operating System** - Which browsers did you find the problem on?
* **Reproduce the Error** - Provide a live example (using [CodeSandbox](https://codesandbox.io/) or [StackBlitz](https://stackblitz.com/)) or a unambiguous set of steps.
* **Related Issues** - Has a similar issue been reported before?
* **Suggest a Fix** - If you can't fix the bug yourself, perhaps you can point to what might be causing the problem (line of code or commit)
### Want a Feature?
You can request a new feature by requesting it in our [Toolkit Q&A Webex Teams space](mailto:toolkit-info@cisco.com?subject=MomentumUI%20Q%26A%20Webex%20Teams%20space&body=Please%20add%20me%20to%20the%20MomentumUI%20Q%26A%20Webex%20Teams%20space). If you would like to implement a new feature then consider what kind of change it is:
* **Major Changes** that you wish to contribute to the project should be discussed first in our [Toolkit Q&A Webex Teams space](mailto:toolkit-info@cisco.com?subject=MomentumUI%20Q%26A%20Webex%20Teams%20space&body=Please%20add%20me%20to%20the%20MomentumUI%20Q%26A%20Webex%20Teams%20space) so that we can better coordinate our efforts, prevent duplication of work, and help you to craft the change so that it is successfully accepted into the project.
* **Small Changes** can be crafted and submitted to our [GitHub Repository](https://github.com/momentum-design/momentum-ui-angular/pulls) as a Pull Request.

## Git Commit Guidelines
We have very precise rules over how our git commit messages can be formatted. This leads to **more
readable messages** that are easy to follow when looking through the **project history**. But also,
we use the git commit messages to **generate the Angular change log**.
### Commit Message Format
Each commit message consists of a **header**, a **body** and a **footer**. The header has a special
format that includes a **type**, a **scope** and a **subject**:
