+# Contributing Guide
+
+We'd love your help!
+
+## Report a bug or requesting feature
+
+Reporting bugs is an important contribution. Please make sure to include:
+
+- expected and actual behavior.
+- Node version that application is running.
+- OpenTelemetry version that application is using.
+- if possible - repro application and steps to reproduce.
+
+## How to contribute
+
+### Before you start
+
+Please read project contribution
+[guide](https://github.com/open-telemetry/community/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
+for general practices for OpenTelemetry project.
+
+### Fork
+
+In the interest of keeping this repository clean and manageable, you should work from a fork. To create a fork, click the 'Fork' button at the top of the repository, then clone the fork locally using `git clone git@github.com:USERNAME/opentelemetry-node.git`.
+
+You should also add this repository as an "upstream" repo to your local copy, in order to keep it up to date. You can add this as a remote like so:
+```
+git remote add upstream https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-node.git
+
+#verify that the upstream exists
+git remote -v
+```
+
+To update your fork, fetch the upstream repo's branches and commits, then merge your master with upstream's master:
+```
+git fetch upstream
+git checkout master
+git merge upstream/master
+```
+
+Remember to always work in a branch of your local copy, as you might otherwise have to contend with conflicts in master.
+
+Please also see [GitHub workflow](https://github.com/open-telemetry/community/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#github-workflow) section of general project contributing guide.
+
+### Running the tests
+
+The `opentelemetry-node` project is written in TypeScript.
+
+- `yarn install` or `npm install` to install dependencies.
+- `yarn compile` or `npm run compile` compiles the code, checking for type errors.
+- `yarn bootstrap` or `npm run bootstrap` Bootstrap the packages in the current Lerna repo. Installs all of their dependencies and links any cross-dependencies.
+- `yarn test` or `npm test` tests code the same way that our CI will test it.
+- `yarn fix` or `npm run fix` lint (and maybe fix) any changes.
