## 🧑‍⚖️ Guidelines for requesting or contributing patches
To maintain a high-quality and ethical collection of patches, the following guidelines for requesting
or contributing patches are effective as of September 14, 2023. Any patches present prior to this date
are unaffected by this change.
> **Note**
> We generally adhere to the guidelines outlined below. However, we may make exceptions
> in specific cases based on our discretion. Pull requests for patches that deviate from the guidelines
> will be evaluated individually. While a patch may not align with our general guidelines,
> we will consider its acceptance on a case-by-case basis, taking into account its impact on user experience
> and ethical considerations. We reserve the right to make exceptions for patches that provide significant value.

* Customizations: Feel free to contribute patches that allow users to personalize their experience
* Ad-Blocking: Patches aimed at enhancing user privacy and blocking intrusive advertisements are appreciated
* Feature additions: Patches that add new features or change behaviour to the app are welcome
❌ Examples for unacceptable patches include:
* Payment circumvention: We do not accept patches that exist solely to bypass payment for the app or any of its features
* Malicious patches: Patches that are malicious in nature are not allowed
## 📝 How to contribute

3. Commit your changes. In case you are contributing a new patch, make sure to follow the conventions for patches
described in the [documentation](https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-patches/tree/docs/docs)
4. Submit a pull request to the `dev` branch of the repository and reference issues
