+## How Can I Contribute?

+This is an open source project and requires help from the community. Any contributions from the community are very
+much welcome! Be it "only" reporting bugs or actually contributing code to the repository.
+
+### Reporting Bugs
+
+This Project is by no means perfect. If you find something is not working as expected we are glad to receive an
+issue report from you. Please make sure to
+[search for similar issues](https://github.com/ritik3131/RealTime-Chatapp/issues) first.
+
+If you did not find any related issues, please report a [new issue](https://github.com/ritik3131/RealTime-Chatapp/issues).
+In order to be able to react efficiently we ask you to provide us with the following information:
+
+- A small code example that reproduces the issue ([mcve](https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve))
+
+Please also abide to these rules:
+
+- Formulate the issue in English.
+- Provide a **clear and descriptive** title
+- Stick to the issue template
+- Make sure code is properly indented and
+  [formatted](https://help.github.com/articles/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax/#quoting-code) (Use ``` around
+  code blocks). Attach large code snippets as file.
+
+Note that this is an open source project and don't expect us to fix every issue immediately. Please also consider
+fixing the issue yourself and preparing a pull request. Sometimes a pointer to a specific line of code already helps
+a lot. We will happily discuss and merge contributions from the community!
