+# How to contribute to Diskonaut
+You can contribute to `diskonaut` in several ways, all of which would be very much appreciated.
+Following are a few guidelines that might help you find your way around.
+
+Please note that Diskonaut has a Code of Conduct (you can find it in the root of the repository).
+It is there so that we can have a safe and pleasant environment that encourages acceptance, participation and kindness.
+
+## Have you found a bug?
+If Diskonaut is not working for you, or you found something that is not behaving as it should, it would be great if you could let us know about it.
+To do this, please open an issue in the repository and provide as much relevant information as possible. Ideally, also a way to reproduce this bug.
+If you would like to try and fix this bug yourself, please open a pull request (for more information, see the section of this document regarding code contributions).
+
+## Do you have an idea for a new feature?
+`diskonaut` can always be improved, and one of the best ways to improve it is by having its users suggest new features and different ways it can behave.
+If you'd like to make such a suggestion, please open an issue detailing it. In this issue others would be able to comment on the suggestion.
+Finally, you or someone else would be able to implement this suggestion if it is decided to do so.
+
+## Would you like to make a code contribution?
+Code contributions to `diskonaut` are very welcome and encouraged. If you're unsure what to work on, a good place to start is the "Help Wanted" or "Good First Issue" tags in the issues of this repository.
+
+Following is some information you might find useful regarding the particularities of contributing to `diskonaut`:
+
+### Testing
+Diskonaut uses automated integration tests to make sure everything is working as it should.
+If you're adding new functionality, you might want to add new tests or adjust the existing ones.
+
+These tests work by creating textual "snapshots" of how the UI looks in certain situations. One test can have several snapshots.
+
+An example test would be:
+1. Create a temporary folder with a few files and subfolders.
+2. Run diskonaut on that folder and take a snapshot of its UI. Make sure that snapshot is identical to the snapshot stored in this repository for that test.
+3. Enter one of the subfolders, take another snapshot and make sure it is identical to the second stored snapshot for that test.
+
+To store and compare the snapshots, we use [`insta`](https://docs.rs/insta/0.8.1/insta/)
+
+For an improved experience, you can install `cargo-insta` on your computer, which will allow you to review new snapshots - approving or rejecting them. Please see the insta documentation for more details.
+
+### Code formatting
+`diskonaut` uses [rustfmt](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustfmt) for code formatting. In most (all?) cases, if you have it installed on your computer, you can run `cargo fmt` in the project folder, and it will auto fix your code.
