not add your bugs to closed issues. They may look similar to you but
often are completely different from the maintainer's point of view.
If you just have a question or when you are not sure if what you have found
is an actual bug, use the [Discussion section](https://github.com/openstreetmap/Nominatim/discussions).
If you have questions about the underlying OpenStreetMap data rather than
the geocoding software, then the

place to start.

You should fork the project into your own repo, create a topic branch
there and then make one or more pull requests back to the openstreetmap repository.
Your pull requests will then be reviewed and discussed. Please be aware
that you are responsible for your pull requests. You should be prepared
to get change requests because as the maintainers we have to make sure
that your contribution fits well with the rest of the code. Please make
sure that you have time to react to these comments and amend the code or
engage in a conversation. Do not expect that others will pick up your code,
it will almost never happen.

Please open a separate pull request for each issue you want to address.
Don't mix multiple changes. In particular, don't mix style cleanups with
feature pull requests. If you plan to make larger changes, please open
an issue first or comment on the appropriate issue already existing so
that duplicate work can be avoided.
Please make sure to follow these guidelines:
* Make sure CI passes _before_ opening the pull request. The repo is configured
to run the CI on branches. Once you have enabled the CI on your forked
repo, Actions will execute every time you push to your branch. Check
the Actions tab in your repo to make sure everything works.

Don't mix multiple changes. In particular, don't mix style cleanups with
feature pull requests (exceptions, see 'Style modernisation' below).
* For small fixes and amendments open a PR directly.
If you plan to make larger changes, please open an issue first or comment
on the appropriate issue to outline your planned implementation.

## Coding style
Nominatim historically hasn't followed a particular coding style but we
are in process of consolidating the style. The following rules apply:
* Python code uses the official Python style
* indentation
* SQL use 2 spaces
* all other file types use 4 spaces
* [BSD style](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indent_style#Allman_style) for braces
* spaces
* spaces before and after equal signs and operators
* no trailing spaces
* no spaces after opening and before closing bracket
* leave out space between a function name and bracket
but add one between control statement(if, while, etc.) and bracket
The coding style is enforced with flake8. It can be tested with:
The coding style for Python is enforced with flake8. It can be tested with:
```
make lint
```
SQL code is currently not linted but should follow the following rules:
* 2 spaces indentation
* UPPER CASE for all SQL keywords
### Style modernisation
There are a few places where we modernize code style as we go. The following
changes can be made when you touch the code anyway:
* update copyright date in the file header to the current year
* switch Python code to use [generics in standard collections](https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.9.html#type-hinting-generics-in-standard-collections)
