# Pull requests (for contributors & collaborators)
Before submitting your PR:
- Search for existing PRs to prevent duplicating efforts
- llama.cpp uses the ggml tensor library for model evaluation. If you are unfamiliar with ggml, consider taking a look at the [examples in the ggml repository](https://github.com/ggml-org/ggml/tree/master/examples/). [simple](https://github.com/ggml-org/ggml/tree/master/examples/simple) shows the bare minimum for using ggml. [gpt-2](https://github.com/ggml-org/ggml/tree/master/examples/gpt-2) has minimal implementations for language model inference using GPT-2. [mnist](https://github.com/ggml-org/ggml/tree/master/examples/mnist) demonstrates how to train and evaluate a simple image classifier
- Test your changes:
- Execute [the full CI locally on your machine](ci/README.md) before publishing
- Verify that the perplexity and the performance are not affected negatively by your changes (use `llama-perplexity` and `llama-bench`)
- If you modified the `ggml` source, run the `test-backend-ops` tool to check whether different backend implementations of the `ggml` operators produce consistent results (this requires access to at least two different `ggml` backends)
- If you modified a `ggml` operator or added a new one, add the corresponding test cases to `test-backend-ops`
- Create separate PRs for each feature or fix. Avoid combining unrelated changes in a single PR
- When adding support for a new model or feature, focus on **CPU support only** in the initial PR unless you have a good reason not to. Add support for other backends like CUDA in follow-up PRs
- Consider allowing write access to your branch for faster reviews, as reviewers can push commits directly
- If your PR becomes stale, rebase it on top of latest `master` to get maintainers attention
- Create separate PRs for each feature or fix:
- Avoid combining unrelated changes in a single PR
- For intricate features, consider opening a feature request first to discuss and align expectations

After submitting your PR:
- Expect requests for modifications to ensure the code meets llama.cpp's standards for quality and long-term maintainability
- Maintainers will rely on your insights and approval when making a final decision to approve and merge a PR
- Consider adding yourself to [CODEOWNERS](CODEOWNERS) to indicate your availability for reviewing related PRs
## Post-Submission Expectations
After submitting a pull request (PR), anticipate requests for changes to align with llama.cpp's code quality and maintenance standards. Your code must not only function correctly but also be well-structured to reduce long-term upkeep for the project.
## Handling Reviews and Rejections
It is unfortunately sometimes necessary to reject PRs for the project's overall health. In such cases maintainers hold final say on merge criteria. For complex features, consider opening a feature request first to discuss and align expectations.
- If your PR becomes stale, rebase it on top of latest `master` to get maintainers attention
