+# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
+contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and
+our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience,
+nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and
+orientation.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment
+include:
+
+* Using welcoming and inclusive language
+* Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
+* Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
+* Focusing on what is best for the community
+* Showing empathy towards other community members
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or
+  advances
+* Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic
+  address, without explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+  professional setting
+
+## Our Responsibilities
+
+Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable
+behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
+
+Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or
+reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions
+that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or
+permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate,
+threatening, offensive, or harmful.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces
+when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of
+representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail
+address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be
+further defined and clarified by project maintainers.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported by contacting the project team at [INSERT EMAIL ADDRESS]. All
+complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that
+is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is
+obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident.
+Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.
+
+Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good
+faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other
+members of the project's leadership.

+## Code of Conduct
+
+This project and everyone participating in it is governed by the [Code of Conduct document](https://github.com/Shopify/draggable/blob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
+By participating, you are expected to uphold this code. Please report unacceptable behaviour to max.hoffmann@shopify.com or curtis.dulmage@shopify.com.
+
+## How to contribute
+
+### Creating issues
+
+Before submitting issues, please have a quick look if there is an existing open issue here: [Issues](https://github.com/Shopify/draggable/issues). If no related issue can be found,
+please open a new issue with labels: `bug`, `documentation`, `feature-request` or `question`.
+
+### Opening pull requests
+
+Pull requests are more than welcome! Just make sure that to include a description of the problem and how you are attempting to fix the issue, or
+simply follow the Pull Request description template.
+
+We also require Pull Requests to sync with master via rebase (not merge). So when you need to sync up your branch with master use: `git pull --rebase origin master`,
+or if you need to sync up with another branch `git pull --rebase origin some-other-branch-name`. Doing so will remove of an extra merge commit in the git history.
+This will also require a force push to the branch, e.g. `git push -u origin +some-branch`. The `+` in the last command indicates that you are force pushing changes.
+
+Additionally we require commits to be atomic and squashed where needed. This will keep the git history clean on master. To squash commits use the `git rebase -i @~2`
+command to do an interactive rebase. This will allow you to merge multiple commits into one. To read up more on this please visit: [Git Tools Rewriting History](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Rewriting-History)
