Fork and clone the repository
Make sure the tests pass on your machine: go test -v ./...
Make sure linter passes on your machine: golangci-lint run
Create a new branch: git checkout -b my-branch-name

Push to your fork and submit a pull request
Pat yourself on the back and wait for your pull request to be reviewed and merged.

Here are a few things you can do that will increase the likelihood of your pull request being accepted:
