+# Contributing
+
+deno_std is a loose port of [Go's standard library](https://golang.org/pkg/).
+When in doubt, simply port Go's source code, documentation, and tests. There are
+many times when the nature of JavaScript, TypeScript, or Deno itself justifies
+diverging from Go, but if possible we want to leverage the energy that went into
+building Go. We generally welcome direct ports of Go's code.
+
+Please ensure the copyright headers cite the code's origin.
+
+Follow the [style guide](https://deno.land/manual/contributing/style_guide).
+
+### Opening a pull request
+
+After cloning don't forget to `git submodule update --init`.
+
+Before opening a PR make sure to:
+
+- have the latest Deno version installed locally
+- add tests that cover your changes.
+- `deno task test` passes.
+- `deno fmt --check` passes.
+- `deno task lint` passes.
+- (optionally) check for typos with `deno task typos` (requires
+ [typos](https://github.com/crate-ci/typos#install) to be installed)
+
+Give the PR a descriptive title.
+
+Examples of good titles:
+
+- fix(http): Fix race condition in server
+- docs(fmt): Update docstrings
+- feat(log): Handle nested messages
+
+Examples of bad titles:
+
+- fix #7123
+- update docs
+- fix bugs
+
+Ensure there is a related issue and it is referenced in the PR text.
+
+_About CI checks_:
+
+We currently have 6 checks on CI. Each PR should pass all of these checks to be
+accepted.
+
+- test with Deno canary on Windows
+- test with Deno canary on Linux
+- test with Deno canary on macOS
+- lint
+- wasm crypto check
+- CLA
+
+_For maintainers_:
+
+To release a new version a tag in the form of `x.y.z` should be added.
+
+### Types
+
+Deno is moving away from non-native IO functions and interfaces in favor of the
+[Streams API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Streams_API).
+These types are to be defined here, in the Standard Library, instead of in the
+Deno namespace in the future. As a rule, use the following corresponding and
+identical types from `types.d.ts`:
+
+- `Deno.Reader`
+- `Deno.Writer`
+- `Deno.ReaderSync`
+- `Deno.WriterSync`
+- `Deno.Closer`
+
+See the tracking issue [here](https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues/9795).
