 ## Contributing
 
 Contributions are very welcome. Pull requests must be sent to [the main repository](https://github.com/hexops/mach/tree/main/freetype) to avoid some complex merge conflicts we'd get by accepting contributions in both repositories. Once the changes are merged there, they'll get sync'd to this repository automatically.
