# Contributing
We welcome contributions from everyone. However, please follow the following guidelines when posting a GitHub Pull Request or filing a GitHub Issue on the systemd project:
## Posting Pull Requests
* Make sure to post PRs only relative to a very recent git master.
-* Follow our [Coding Style](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/systemd/systemd/master/docs/CODING_STYLE) when contributing code. This is a requirement for all code we merge.
-* Please make sure to test your change before submitting the PR. See [HACKING](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/systemd/systemd/master/docs/HACKING) for details how to do this.
+* Follow our [Coding Style](CODING_STYLE.md) when contributing code. This is a requirement for all code we merge.
+* Please make sure to test your change before submitting the PR. See the [Hacking guide](HACKING.md) for details on how to do this.
* Make sure to run the test suite locally, before posting your PR. We use a CI system, meaning we don't even look at your PR, if the build and tests don't pass.
* If you need to update the code in an existing PR, force-push into the same branch, overriding old commits with new versions.
* After you have pushed a new version, add a comment about the new version (no notification is sent just for the commits, so it's easy to miss the update without an explicit comment). If you are a member of the systemd project on GitHub, remove the `reviewed/needs-rework` label.
