+# How to file a GitHub Issue
+
+We use GitHub Issues to log all of our todos and tasks. Here is [a good guide](https://guides.github.com/features/issues/) for them if you are unfamiliar.
+
+When logging an issue with go-ipfs, it would be useful if you specified the below information, if possible. This will help us triage the issues faster. Please title your issues with the type. For instance:
+
+- "bug: Cannot add file with `ipfs add`"
+- "question: How do I use `ipfs block <hash>`?"
+
+Putting the command in backticks helps us parse the natural language description, and is generally suggested.
+
+This is a _living guide_. If you see anything that should be here and isn't, or have ideas on improvement, please open a "meta" issue.
+
+### Type
+
+- "bug": If what you are filing is a bug.
+- "meta": If it is something about how we run go-ipfs, and not code related in itself.
+- "question": If you have a question.
+- "test failure": If the tests are failing
+- "panic": If it is a severe bug.
+- "enhancement ": If you have a feature you would like that enhances go-ipfs.
+
+### Platform
