Contributing

Please make every effort to keep this tool as simple as possible. Here are some rules to consider when making contributions:

1. Use the standard library whenever possible. Do not add third-party dependencies where they can be avoided. If third party dependencies cannot be avoided, please prefer dependencies from golang.org/x over other libraries.
2. Do not write long-running tests. Tests that take longer than 1s to run should not be added to this module.
3. Do write exhaustive unit tests. Quality is paramount and branch coverage of business logic should be thorough.
