Shubham Lagwankar 475a029514 Problem: PR template is mostly about contributing guidelines
Solution: rename it to CONTRIBUTING.md so that it is shown when
creating a pull request or issue

Pull Request Notice

Before sending a pull request make sure each commit solves one clear, minimal, plausible problem. Further each commit should have the following format:

Problem: X is broken

Solution: do Y and Z to fix X

Please try to have the code changes conform to our coding style. For your convenience, you can install clang-format (at least version 5.0) and then run make clang-format-check. Don't fix existing issues, if any - just make sure your changes are compliant. make clang-format-diff will automatically apply the required changes. To set a specific clang-format binary with autotools, you can for example run: ./configure CLANG_FORMAT=clang-format-5.0

Please avoid sending a pull request with recursive merge nodes, as they are impossible to fix once merged. Please rebase your branch on zeromq/libzmq master instead of merging it.

git remote add upstream git@github.com:zeromq/libzmq.git
git fetch upstream
git rebase upstream/master
git push -f

In case you already merged instead of rebasing you can drop the merge commit.

git rebase -i HEAD~10

Now, find your merge commit and mark it as drop and save. Finally rebase!

If you are a new contributor please have a look at our contributing guidelines: CONTRIBUTING
