# Contributing to Nixpkgs
## (Proposing a change)
When pull requests are made, our tooling automation bot,
[OfBorg](https://github.com/NixOS/ofborg) will perform various checks
to help ensure expression quality.
## (Merging a pull request)
The *Nixpkgs committers* are people who have been given
permission to merge.
## (Flow of changes)
Most contributions are based on and merged into these branches:
* `master` is the main branch where all small contributions go
* `staging` is branched from master, changes that have a big impact on
Hydra builds go to this branch
* `staging-next` is branched from staging and only fixes to stabilize
and security fixes with a big impact on Hydra builds should be
contributed to this branch. This branch is merged into master when
deemed of sufficiently high quality
