+Submitting Patches
+------------------
+We're open source, and patches are always welcome!
+You can send patches by using these commands:
+
+    cd <project>
+    <make edits>
+    git add -A
+    git commit -m "commit message"
+    git push ssh://<username>@gerrit.omnirom.org:29418/<project> HEAD:refs/for/<branch>
+
+Register at gerrit.omnirom.org and use the username that you registered there in the above command
+
+Commit your patches in a single commit. Squash multiple commit using this command: git rebase -i HEAD~<# of commits>
+
+If you are going to make extra additions, just repeat steps (Don't start a new patch), but instead of git commit -m
+use git commit --amend. Gerrit will recognize it as a new patchset.
+
+To view the status of your and others patches, visit [OMNI ROM Code Review](https://gerrit.omnirom.org)
+
+
+Getting Started
+---------------
+
+To get started with OMNI ROM, you'll need to get
+familiar with [Git and Repo](http://source.android.com/download/using-repo).
+
+To initialize your local repository using the OMNI trees, use a command like this:
+
+    repo init -u git://github.com/omnirom/android.git -b <branch>
+
+Then to sync up:
+
+    repo sync
+
+Then to build:
+
+     cd <source-dir>; . build/envsetup.sh; brunch <device_name>
