## Steps to reproduce

* Results of GitLab [Application Check](doc/install/installation.md#check-application-status) (For installations with omnibus-gitlab package: `sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:check SANITIZE=true`); For installations from source: `sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production SANITIZE=true`); we will only investigate if the tests are passing
|
|
||||||
* Version of GitLab you are running; we will only investigate issues in the latest stable and development releases as per the [maintenance policy](MAINTENANCE.md)
|
(How one can reproduce the issue - this is very important)
|
||||||
* Add the last commit SHA-1 of the GitLab version you used to replicate the issue (obtainable from the help page)
|
|
||||||
* Describe your setup (use relevant parts from the env info: For installations with omnibus-gitlab package: `sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:env:info`; For installations from source: `sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:env:info RAILS_ENV=production`)

If you can, please submit a merge request with the fix or improvements including tests. If you don't know how to fix the issue but can write a test that exposes the issue we will accept that as well. In general bug fixes that include a regression test are merged quickly while new features without proper tests are least likely to receive timely feedback. The workflow to make a merge request is as follows:

|

Please keep the change in a single MR **as small as possible**. If you want to contribute a large feature think very hard what the minimum viable change is. Can you split functionality? Can you only submit the backend/API code? Can you start with a very simple UI? Can you do part of the refactor? The increased reviewability of small MR's that leads to higher code quality is more important to us than having a minimal commit log. The smaller a MR is the more likely it is it will be merged (quickly), after that you can send more MR's to enhance it.

It should be written in present time and never use past tense (has been/was). For example instead of "prohibited this user from being saved due to the following errors:" the text should be "sorry, we could not create your account because:".
