# How to Contribute

BERT needs to maintain permanent compatibility with the pre-trained model files,
so we do not plan to make any major changes to this library (other than what was
promised in the README). However, we can accept small patches related to
re-factoring and documentation. To submit contributes, there are just a few
small guidelines you need to follow.
