+
+## How Can I Contribute?
+
+## How Do I Submit A (Good) Bug Report?
+
+Bugs are tracked as [GitHub issues](https://guides.github.com/features/issues/). 
+
+Explain the problem and include additional details to help maintainers reproduce the problem:
+
+* **Use a clear and descriptive title** for the issue to identify the problem.
+* **Describe the exact steps which reproduce the problem** in as many details as possible. For example, start by explaining how you are using FastEmbed, e.g. with Langchain, Qdrant Client, Llama Index and which command exactly you used. When listing steps, **don't just say what you did, but explain how you did it**.
+* **Provide specific examples to demonstrate the steps**. Include links to files or GitHub projects, or copy/pasteable snippets, which you use in those examples. If you're providing snippets in the issue, use [Markdown code blocks](https://help.github.com/articles/markdown-basics/#multiple-lines).
+* **Describe the behavior you observed after following the steps** and point out what exactly is the problem with that behavior.
+* **Explain which behavior you expected to see instead and why.**
+* **If the problem is related to performance or memory**, include a [call stack profile capture](https://github.com/joerick/pyinstrument) and your observations. 
+
+Include details about your configuration and environment:
+
+* **Which version of FastEmbed are you using?** You can get the exact version by running `python -c "import fastembed; print(fastembed.__version__)"`.
+* **What's the name and version of the OS you're using**?
+* **Which packages do you have installed?** You can get that list by running `pip freeze`
+
+### Your First Code Contribution
+
+Unsure where to begin contributing to FastEmbed? You can start by looking through these `good-first-issue`issues:
+
+* [Good First Issue](https://github.com/qdrant/fastembed/labels/good%20first%20issue) - issues which should only require a few lines of code, and a test or two. These are a great way to get started with FastEmbed. This includes adding new models which are already tested and ready on Huggingface Hub. 
+
+## Pull Requests
+
+The best way to learn about the mechanics of FastEmbed is to start working on it. 
+
+### Beginners
+You can start by adding new models to the FastEmbed. There are quite a few pull requests that were merged for this purpose and you can use them as a reference. You can find all the model requests [here](https://github.com/qdrant/fastembed/labels/model%20request).
