+# Contributing to Chef Automate
+
+Thank you for your interest in Chef Automate!  We use **GitHub Issues**
+for issue tracking and contributions:
+
+1. Reporting an issue or making a feature request
+2. Submitting patches for new features or bug fixes
+
+We follow a process used by other Chef
+products: <https://github.com/chef/chef/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md>
+
+## Submitting Patches
+
+All patches should be submitted as GitHub pull requests:
+
+1. Make changes on a branch, ensuring to add the [Developer Certificate
+   of Origin sign-off](https://github.com/chef/chef/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#developer-certification-of-origin-dco) to your commits.
+
+2. Create a GitHub Pull Request.
+
+3. Ensure your pull request passes all automated tests. If a test in
+   the verify_private pipeline fails and you are not a Chef employee,
+   a Chef employee assigned to review the PR will help get the test
+   passing.
+
+3. Respond to code review comments to improve the code until it is
+   approved to merge.
