+# Contributing
+
+We don't use GitHub pull requests but use Gerrit for code reviews,
+similar to the Go project.
+
+1. Sign one of the contributor license agreements below.
+2. go get golang.org/x/review/git-review to install the code reviewing tool.
+3. Get the package by running go get -d golang.org/x/oauth2.
+Make changes and create a change by running git review change <name>, provide a command message, and use git review mail to create a Gerrit CL.
+Keep amending to the change and mail as your recieve feedback.
+
+For more information about the workflow, see Go's [Contribution Guidelines](https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html).
+
+Before we can accept any pull requests
+we have to jump through a couple of legal hurdles,
+primarily a Contributor License Agreement (CLA):
+
+- **If you are an individual writing original source code**
+  and you're sure you own the intellectual property,
+  then you'll need to sign an [individual CLA](http://code.google.com/legal/individual-cla-v1.0.html).
+- **If you work for a company that wants to allow you to contribute your work**,
+  then you'll need to sign a [corporate CLA](http://code.google.com/legal/corporate-cla-v1.0.html).
+
+You can sign these electronically (just scroll to the bottom).
+After that, we'll be able to accept your pull requests.
