Contributing

Sequelize CLI is entirely driven by community contributions. Any little contribution with code or documentation work helps us keeping this project running.

You can help us in various ways

Reporting Bugs

Security Issues

Although CLI is never supposed to be web facing, we still want to fix any security issues. Please contact project maintainers privately. You can find more information here.

General Issues or Feature Requests

Github issues should follow specified template. When you start creating a new issue, an empty template will be already filled.

Please make sure issue you are reporting is strictly related to Sequelize CLI.

If you want to propose new features to Sequelize CLI, you may ignore issue template. You still need to clearly state new feature. Feature request should give various examples, API suggestions and references to support idea behind it.
