How to Contribute

Reporting bugs

1. Check for existing issues: Before you create a new issue, please do a search in our issues to see if the issue or feature request has already been filed.
2. Create a new issue: If you find no issue or your issue differs, create a new issue and provide detailed information, including steps to reproduce the problem.

Suggesting Enhancements

1. Check for existing suggestions: Before suggesting a new feature, please check if it's already been suggested in our issues.
2. Create a new suggestion: If you find no similar suggestion, create a new suggestion issue and provide detailed information about the enhancement and why it would be useful.

Checking HVM Issues

Since Bend depends on HVM, some issues might be related to HVM rather than Bend itself. Please also check the HVM issues page to see if your issue has already been reported there.
