Submit your improvements, fixes, and new features to Home Assistant one at a time, using GitHub [Pull Requests](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests). Here are the steps:

 1. From your fork, create a new branch to hold your changes:
 
      `git checkout -b some-feature`
    
 2. Make your changes, create a [new platform](/developers/add_new_platform/), develop a [new component](/developers/creating_components/), or fix [issues](https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues).
 
 3. [Test your changes](/developers/development_testing/) and check for style violations.
 
 4. If everything looks good according to these [musts](/developers/development_checklist/), commit your changes:
 
    `git add .`
    
    `git commit -m "Added some-feature"`
    
     * Consider adding tests to ensure that your code works.
   
 5. Push your committed changes back to your fork on GitHub:
 
    `git push origin HEAD`
 
 6. Follow [these steps](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request/) to create your pull request.
 
 7. Check for comments and suggestions on your pull request and keep an eye on the [CI output](https://travis-ci.org/home-assistant/home-assistant/).
