## Submitting an Issue
|
|
We use the [GitHub issue tracker][issues] to track bugs and features. Before
|
|
submitting a bug report or feature request, check to make sure it hasn't
|
|
already been submitted. When submitting a bug report, please include a [Gist][]
|
|
that includes a stack trace and any details that may be necessary to reproduce
|
|
the bug, including your gem version, Ruby version, and operating system.
|
|
Ideally, a bug report should include a pull request with failing specs.
