+## Contributing
+
+This project welcomes contributions and suggestions.  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. For details, visit https://cla.opensource.microsoft.com.
+
+When you submit a pull request, a CLA bot will automatically determine whether you need to provide
+a CLA and decorate the PR appropriately (e.g., status check, comment). Simply follow the instructions
+provided by the bot. You will only need to do this once across all repos using our CLA.
+
+This project has adopted the [Microsoft Open Source Code of Conduct](https://opensource.microsoft.com/codeofconduct/).
+For more information see the [Code of Conduct FAQ](https://opensource.microsoft.com/codeofconduct/faq/) or
+contact [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) with any additional questions or comments.
+
+## File issues
+
+The best way to get started with a contribution is to start a dialog with the owners of this repository. Sometimes features will be under development or out of scope for this SDK and it's best to check before starting work on contribution.
+
+## Commit message format
+
+To support our automated release process, pull requests are required to follow the [Conventional Commit](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/)
+format.
+
+Each commit message consists of a **header**, an optional **body** and an optional **footer**. The header is the first line of the commit and
+MUST have a **type** (see below for a list of types) and a **description**. An optional **scope** can be added to the header to give extra context.
+
+```
+<type>[optional scope]: <short description>
+<BLANK LINE>
+<optional body>
+<BLANK LINE>
+<optional footer(s)>
+```
+
+The recommended commit types used are:
+
+- **feat** for feature updates (increments the _minor_ version)
+- **fix** for bug fixes (increments the _patch_ version)
+- **perf** for performance related changes e.g. optimizing an algorithm
+- **refactor** for code refactoring changes
+- **test** for test suite updates e.g. adding a test or fixing a test
+- **style** for changes that don't affect the meaning of code. e.g. formatting changes
+- **docs** for documentation updates e.g. ReadMe update or code documentation updates
+- **build** for build system changes (gradle updates, external dependency updates)
+- **ci** for CI configuration file changes e.g. updating a pipeline
+- **chore** for miscallaneous non-sdk changesin the repo e.g. removing an unused file
+
+Adding a footer with the prefix **BREAKING CHANGE:** will cause an increment of the _major_ version.
