+## Beginner-friendly contributing
+
+Please don't be intimidated to contribute code to this project. I welcome code
+ in any way you're comfortable to contribute it (email, forum, diff). If you're
+ new to GitHub and this kind of thing, the below guide may help you. 
+
+1. Fork project with button in top of WP2static github [home page](https://github.com/leonstafford/wp2static)
+1. Clone your project to your development computer (please, change <your-account> by your account name):  
+   `git clone https://github.com/<your-account>/wp2static.git`
+1. Fork your new branch from **develop** naming with:
+   1. If you want add new feature: `feature-<name of your feature>`
+   1. If you want to fix a bug: `bug-<name of bug>`  
+      `git checkout -b feature-myfeature`
+1. Do your commits
+1. Push to your repository  
+   `git push origin feature-myfeature`
+1. Then go to your https://github.com/<your-account>/wp2static site and create a pull request:  
+   In base repository choose _leonstafford/wp2static_ and choose _development_ branch.
+1. After Pull Request is approved you need to sync repositories.
+1. In your local development add **upstream** branch:  
+   `git remote add upstream https://github.com/leonstafford/wp2static`
+1. Fetch **upstream**  
+   `git fetch upstream`
+1. Checkout your local branch:  
+   `git checkout develop`
+1. Merge **upstream** with your local:  
+   `git merge upstream/develop`
+1. You can now make new branches.
+
+### Working example
+
+#### Preparing Repository
+
+Fork project WP2static [home page](https://github.com/leonstafford/wp2static)
+
+`git clone https://github.com/ebavs/wp2static.git # clone repository (please,change ebavs by yours, this is only an example)`
+
+Then add WP2Static remote
+
+`git remote add upstream https://github.com/leonstafford/wp2static # add remote`
+
+#### Working and Commiting
+
+`git checkout -b feature-newdocumentation # create new branch to do changes`
+
+`git commit -am "my new commits" # send new changes`
+
+`git push origin feature-myfeature # push to your repository`
+
+Then **Pull Request** in WP2Static
+
+#### Sync Repository
+
+`git fetch upstream # download commits from wp2static repo`
+
+`git checkout develop # change to local develop branch`
+
+`git merge upstream/develop # merge with wpstatic develop branch`
+
+### Publishing a new release
+
+This is currently done by @leonstafford and involves these steps:
+
+ - test code in `develop` branch
+ - set a new dev version if needed, ie `7.1.1-dev`
+ - merge `develop` branch to `master`
+ - adjust `wp2static.php` version to non-dev, ie `7.1.1`
+ - update `CHANGELOG.md`
+ - create new git tag with matching version
+ - push `master` branch and tag to GitHub
+ - create new Release in GitHub with same notes as CHANGELOG
+ - build zip installer and publish to wp2static.com with MD5 hash
