## Code Contribution

Hugo has become a fully featured static site generator, so any new functionality must meet these criterias:

* It must be useful to many.
* It must fit natural into _what Hugo does best._
* It must strive not to break existing sites.
* It must close ur update an open [Hugo issue](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues)

Contributor

Typo in or here FYI

* If it is of some complexity, the contributor is expected to maintain and support the new future (answer questions on the forum, fix any bugs etc.).

So, to avoid doing unneeded work, it is recommended to open up a discussion on the [Hugo Forum](https://discourse.gohugo.io/) to get some acceptance that this is a good idea. Also, if this is a complex feature, create a small design proposal on the [Hugo issue tracker](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues) before you start coding.


**Bug fixes are, of course, always welcome.**



## Submitting Patches

The Hugo project welcomes all contributors and contributions regardless of skill or experience level.
