- Describe the desired functionality and its use case.
- Label the issue as "feature."

## Contribute Code
The following outlines our workflow for code contributions:

1. Browse the list of [open issues](../../issues). Choose one to work on, or create a new one to discuss your ideas.
2. It's best to discuss your plans beforehand to ensure alignment with our project goals.
3. Fork the repository on GitHub.
4. Create a topic branch from `main`.
5. Start a new pull request, label it `work in progress`, and describe your intended contributions.
6. Commit logical and self-contained changes.
7. Ensure each commit is signed off (`git commit -s -m "your message"`), as a sign of your agreement to the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO).
8. Push your changes to a topic branch in your fork.
9. Update the pull request with new information and completed tasks.
10. Engage with any feedback from project maintainers.
11. Once complete, remove the `work in progress` label and request a review from the maintainers.
12. Your pull request requires approval from at least two [maintainers](MAINTAINERS).

### Code Contribution Workflow

1. **Explore Open Issues**: Browse through the [open issues](../../issues). You can either work on an existing issue or create a new one to discuss your ideas.
2. **Fork and Branch**: Fork the repository and create a branch from the `main` branch to base your work.
3. **Start a Pull Request**: Open a pull request and label it `work in progress`. Outline your contributions.
4. **Commit Your Changes**: Commit your changes in logical units. Ensure you sign off on your commits using `git commit -s -m "adding X to change Y"`.
5. **Engage**: Push your changes to your branch and update your pull request with any new information or completed tasks. Engage with feedback from project maintainers.
6. **Final Review**: Once completed, remove the `work in progress` label and request a final review from the maintainers.
7. **Approval**: Your pull request must receive approval from at least two [maintainers](MAINTAINERS).

### Commit Messages
Your commit messages should clearly answer two questions: what changed and why. The subject line should focus on what changed, while the body provides the reason.

Link the pull request to the relevant issue id.
Your commit messages should clearly articulate what changed and why:
- **Subject**: Briefly describe what was changed.
- **Body**: Explain why these changes were necessary.

```
git commit -s -m "adding X to change Y"
Ensure the pull request description references the corresponding issue ID.

### Developer Certificate of Origin

All contributions must adhere to the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) version 1.1, as documented at [developercertificate.org](http://developercertificate.org/). This implies that by submitting a contribution, you certify that you have the right to do so. Please include a "Signed-off-by" tag in every patch, which can be automated with a [Git hook](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15015894/git-add-signed-off-by-line-using-format-signoff-not-working).

```bash
git commit -s -m "Describe your change"
```
