-== How to contribute patches to Tycho ==
+See https://github.com/eclipse/tycho/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md
-First, read [[Developing Tycho]] .
-If you want to do an enhancement but don't know where to start or if it's going in the right direction, just ask on [[mailto:tycho-dev@eclipse.org]] and we will help.
-If the patch is not trivial, make sure you include a test case that reproduces the bug or proves that the ehhancement works.
-== Writing Tests ==
-Tycho has two types of tests: unit tests (locally in each module) and a global integration test suite in tycho-its.
-Unit tests are preferred if possible because they are in general much faster and better targeted at the functionality under test.
-Integration tests generally use maven to build a sample project and then do some assertions on the build output.
-See examples for unit tests and integration tests.
-== Patch Format ==
-We prefer git patches created with [[git format-patch|http://schacon.github.com/git/user-manual.html#submitting-patches]] since they preserve a commit message as well as author information. This gives you the credit you deserve in the git history.
