# Contributing to Homebrew First time contributing to Homebrew? Read our [Code of Conduct](https://github.com/Homebrew/.github/blob/HEAD/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md#code-of-conduct) and review [How to Open a Homebrew Pull Request](https://docs.brew.sh/How-To-Open-a-Homebrew-Pull-Request). ### Report a bug * Run `brew update` (twice). * Run and read `brew doctor`. * Read the [Troubleshooting checklist](https://docs.brew.sh/Troubleshooting). * Open an issue on the formula's repository or on Homebrew/brew if it's not a formula-specific issue. ### Propose a feature * Open an issue with a detailed description of your proposed feature, the motivation for it and alternatives considered. Please note we may close this issue or ask you to create a pull-request if this is not something we see as sufficiently high priority. Thanks!
