+## Code of Conduct and Contribution Practices
+
+Please help us follow the best practice to make it easy for the reviewer as well as the contributor.
+We want to focus on the code quality more than on managing pull request ethics. Follow [Github Flow](https://help.github.com/articles/github-flow/).
+
+- [People before code](http://hintjens.com/blog:95): If any of the following rules are violated, the pull-requests must not be rejected. This is to create an easy and joyful onboarding process for new programmers and first-time contributors.
+
+- Single commit per pull request and name the commit as something meaningful
+
+- Reference the issue numbers in the commit message if it resolves an open issue. Follow the pattern `Fixes #<issue number> <commit message>`
+
+- Provide relevant screenshot for easier review.
+
+- In case there are multiple commits on the PR, the commit author should squash them.
+
+- Avoid duplicate PRs, if need be comment on the older PR with the PR number of the follow-up (new PR) and close the obsolete PR yourself.
+
+Happy Contributing!
