+# Contributing to LLVM
+
+Thank you for your interest in contributing to LLVM! There are many ways to
+contribute, and we appreciate all contributions.
+
+To get started with contributing, please take a look at the
+[Contributing Guide](https://llvm.org/docs/Contributing.html). It describes how
+to get involved, raise issues and submit patches. Please note that at the moment
+the LLVM project does not use either Github pull requests or Github issues.
