**Refactoring** code, e.g., improving the code without modifying the behavior is an area that can probably be done based on intuition and may not require much communication to be merged.
**Fixing bugs** may also not require a lot of communication, but the more, the better. Please surround bug fixes with ample tests. Bugs are magnets for other bugs. Write tests near bugs!

**Building features** is the area which will require the most communication and/or negotiation. Every feature is subjective and open for debate. If your feature involves user-facing design changes, please provide a mockup first so we can all get on the same page. As always, when in doubt, ask!

2. Create a branch with your GitHub username as a prefix and the ID of the [issue](https://github.com/thepracticaldev/dev.to/issues) as a suffix, for example: `git checkout -b USERNAME/that-new-feature-1234` or `git checkout -b USERNAME/fixing-that-bug-1234` where `USERNAME` should be replaced by your username and `1234` is the ID of the issue tied to your pull request. If there is no issue, you can leave the number out.
3. Code and commit your changes. Bonus points if you write a [good commit message](https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/): `git commit -m 'Add some feature'`
4. Push to the branch: `git push origin USERNAME/that-new-feature-1234`
5. [Create a pull request](https://docs.dev.to/getting-started/pull-request/) for your branch 🎉
