| # Apache Cassandra and Pull Requests |
| |
| Apache Cassandra doesn't use GitHub pull requests as part of the development process. |
| In fact, this repository is a GitHub mirror of [the official repo](https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/cassandra.git). |
| |
| # How to Contribute |
| |
| Use [Cassandra JIRA](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA/) to create an issue, then either attach a patch or post a link to a GitHub branch with your changes. |
