Contributing

This project welcomes contributions and suggestions. For feature and complex bug fix contributions, it is recommended that you first discuss the proposed change with Pyright’s maintainers before submitting the pull request. Most contributions require you to agree to a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) declaring that you have the right to, and actually do, grant us the rights to use your contribution.
