+# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
+contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and
+our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience,
+education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race,
+religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment
+include:
+
+* Using welcoming and inclusive language
+* Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
+* Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
+* Focusing on what is best for the community
+* Showing empathy towards other community members
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or
+  advances
+* Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic
+  address, without explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+  professional setting
+
+## Our Responsibilities
+
+Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable
+behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
+
+Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or
+reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions
+that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or
+permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate,
+threatening, offensive, or harmful.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces
+when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of
+representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail
+address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be
+further defined and clarified by project maintainers.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported by contacting the project team at [email protected]. All
+complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that
+is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is
+obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident.
+Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.
+
+Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good
+faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other
+members of the project's leadership.
+
+## Attribution

+# Contributing Guidelines
+
+Hercules project is [Apache licensed](LICENSE.md) and accepts
+contributions via GitHub pull requests.  This document outlines some of the
+conventions on development workflow, commit message formatting, contact points,
+and other resources to make it easier to get your contribution accepted.
+
+## Certificate of Origin
+
+By contributing to this project you agree to the [Developer Certificate of
+Origin (DCO)](DCO). This document was created by the Linux Kernel community and is a
+simple statement that you, as a contributor, have the legal right to make the
+contribution.
+
+In order to show your agreement with the DCO you should include at the end of commit message,
+the following line: `Signed-off-by: John Doe <[email protected]>`, using your real name.
+
+This can be done easily using the [`-s`](https://github.com/git/git/blob/b2c150d3aa82f6583b9aadfecc5f8fa1c74aca09/Documentation/git-commit.txt#L154-L161) flag on the `git commit`.
+
+
+## Support Channels
+
+The official support channels, for both users and contributors, are:
+
+- GitHub [issues](https://github.com/src-d/hercules/issues)*
+- Slack: #machine-learning room in the [source{d} Slack](https://join.slack.com/t/sourced-community/shared_invite/enQtMjc4Njk5MzEyNzM2LTFjNzY4NjEwZGEwMzRiNTM4MzRlMzQ4MmIzZjkwZmZlM2NjODUxZmJjNDI1OTcxNDAyMmZlNmFjODZlNTg0YWM)
+
+*Before opening a new issue or submitting a new pull request, it's helpful to
+search the project - it's likely that another user has already reported the
+issue you're facing, or it's a known issue that we're already aware of.
+
+
+## How to Contribute
+
+Pull Requests (PRs) are the main and exclusive way to contribute to the official go-git project.
+In order for a PR to be accepted it needs to pass a list of requirements:
+
+- Code Coverage does not decrease.
+- All the tests pass.
+- Go code is idiomatic, formatted according to [gofmt](https://golang.org/cmd/gofmt/), and without any warnings from [go lint](https://github.com/golang/lint) nor [go vet](https://golang.org/cmd/vet/).
+- Python code is formatted according to [![PEP8](https://img.shields.io/badge/code%20style-pep8-orange.svg)](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/).
+- If the PR is a bug fix, it has to include a new unit test that fails before the patch is merged.
+- If the PR is a new feature, it has to come with a suite of unit tests, that tests the new functionality.
+- In any case, all the PRs have to pass the personal evaluation of at least one of the [maintainers](MAINTAINERS.md).
+
+
+### Format of the commit message
+
+The commit summary must start with a capital letter and with a verb in present tense. No dot in the end.
+
+```
+Add a feature
+Remove unused code
+Fix a bug
+```
+
+Every commit details should describe what was changed, under which context and, if applicable, the GitHub issue it relates to.
