				|  |  | -If you think Amber CLI is not working as expected, You can start by asking on IRC or the Mailinglist.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -Please make sure that you have first checked the following guides:

				|  |  | -If the issue can not be resolved you should file an issue on the respective tracker.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -Before reporting an issue, try to reduce the issue to the bare minimum required to reproduce it.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -This allows us to track down and fix the issue in an easier and faster way.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -Additionally, you should give us enough information to reproduce the issue.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -Therefore, include versions of your OS, Amber, Node.js, Grunt, and possibly used libraries as well as sample code.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -If you don't list the exact steps required to reproduce the issue we won't be able to fix it.

				|  |  | -Creating a Pull Request
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | ------------------------
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -The Amber development model currently revolves around Pull Requests which are created through GitHub
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -1. Update to latest Amber CLI master (```git pull```)
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -2. Develop your feature or bugfix in a local branch (not in ```master```)
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -3. Create unittest for your feature or bugfix (your feature/fix will be integrated a lot faster if unittests are present)
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -4. Enhance/fix Amber
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -5. Run the unittests
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -6. Commit your changes to disk if all tests are green
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -7. Try to split your fix into small Git commits if multiple changes are involved (this makes it easier for us to review the changes)
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -8. If you created / deleted / moved something significant, update CHANGELOG appropriately and commit.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -8. Push the changes to your fork on GitHub ```git push <your repo> <your branchname>```
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -9. Submit Pull Request (usually for the Amber CLI master branch)

				|  |  | -Compiling Amber CLI with Grunt
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | ---------------------------
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -Amber uses [Grunt.js](http://gruntjs.com/) as build system since version `0.10.0`.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -To install Grunt.js v0.4.x on the commandline execute the following commands:
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -    npm install -g grunt-cli
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -Make sure that you have installed all required dependencies via `npm` and `bower`.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -Then you can finally compile Amber CLI using the following command:
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -    cd ${Amber_DIR}
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -    grunt amberc:amber_cli
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -
