+## Pull Requests 
+
+Looks like you want to help out on vue-select.. awesome! Here's a couple things to keep in mind when contributing.
+
+1. If your PR contains multiple commits, try to keep those commits succinct, with descriptive messages. This makes it easier to understand your thought process.
+2. Don't run the build before submitting. The build is only run and committed immediately before a new release, and submitting a PR with a build included is just more to parse. 
+3. If your PR fixes or references an open issue, be sure to reference it in your message.
+4. If you're adding new functionality, make sure your code has good test coverage.
+
+:tada: Thanks for contributing, and an even bigger thanks for reading these guidelines!
