## Get Started!

Ready to contribute? Here's how to set up `terrascan` for local development.

1. Fork the `terrascan` repo on GitHub.
2. Clone your fork locally:
```
    $ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/terrascan.git
```
3. Create a branch for local development:
```
    $ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
```
   Now you can make your changes locally.

4. When you're done making changes, check that your changes pass linting and tests. The following commands will simulate locally all checks executed as part of Terrascan's CI pipeline:
```
    $ make cicd
```
5. Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub::
```
    $ git add .
    $ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
    $ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
```
6. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.

## Pull Request Guidelines

Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:

1. The pull request should include tests.
2. If the pull request adds functionality or policies, the docs should be updated.
3. Make sure all tests pass by running `make cicd`.
