You may add additional files in the software folder.

Issue/PR Submission Guidelines

Submitting an Issue

Before you submit your issue search the archive, maybe your question was already answered.

If your issue appears to be a bug, and hasn't been reported, open a new issue. Help us to maximize the effort we can spend fixing issues and adding new features, by not reporting duplicate issues.

Submitting a Pull Request (PR)

Before you submit your pull request consider the following guidelines:

Search GitHub for an open or closed Pull Request that relates to your submission. You don't want to duplicate effort.
Make your changes in a new git branch:
```
git checkout -b my-fix-branch master
```
Commit your changes using a descriptive commit message.
Push your branch to GitHub:
```
git push origin my-fix-branch
```
In GitHub, send a pull request to laradock:master.
If we suggest changes then:
- Make the required updates.
- Commit your changes to your branch (e.g. my-fix-branch).
- Push the changes to your GitHub repository (this will update your Pull Request).

If the PR gets too outdated we may ask you to rebase and force push to update the PR:

git rebase master -i
git push origin my-fix-branch -f

WARNING. Squashing or reverting commits and forced push thereafter may remove GitHub comments on code that were previously made by you and others in your commits.

After your pull request is merged

After your pull request is merged, you can safely delete your branch and pull the changes from the main (upstream) repository:

Delete the remote branch on GitHub either through the GitHub web UI or your local shell as follows:
```
git push origin --delete my-fix-branch
```
Check out the master branch:
```
git checkout master -f
```
Delete the local branch:
```
git branch -D my-fix-branch
```
Update your master with the latest upstream version:
```
git pull --ff upstream master
```

### Happy Coding :)
