Did you find a bug?

• Ensure the bug was not already reported by searching on GitHub under Issues.
• If you're unable to find an open issue addressing the problem, open a new one. Be sure to include a title and clear description, as much relevant information as possible, and a code sample or an executable test case demonstrating the expected behavior that is not occurring.

Did you write a patch that fixes a bug?

• Open a new GitHub pull request with the patch.
• Ensure the PR description clearly describes the problem and solution. Include the relevant issue number if applicable.

Do you intend to add a new feature or change an existing one?

• First suggest your change in the EFCore ideas page for discussion.
• There are no fixed rules on what should and shouldn't be in this library, but some features are more valuable than others, and some require long-term maintenance that outweighs the value of the feature. So please get sign-off from the project leader (Carlos J. Ortiz) before putting in an excessive amount of work.

Do you have questions about the source code?

• Ask any question about how to use EFCore in the EFCore discussion page.
