+### Bug Reporting
+
+Here are a few helpful tips when reporting a bug:
+- Verify the bug resides in the GitHub for Visual Studio extension
+  - A lot of functionality provided by this extension resides in the Team Explorer pane, alongside other non-GitHub tools to manage and collaborate on source code, including Visual Studio's Git support, which is owned by Microsoft.
+  - If this bug not is related to the GitHub extension, visit the [Visual Studio support page](https://www.visualstudio.com/support/support-overview-vs) for help
+- Screenshots are very helpful in diagnosing bugs and understanding the state of the extension when it's experiencing problems. Please include them whenever possible.
+- A log file is helpful in diagnosing bug issues. To include log files in your issue:
+
+  1. Close Visual Studio if it's open
+  2. Open a Developer Command Prompt for VS2015
+  3. Run devenv /log
+  4. Reproduce your issue
+  5. Close VS
+  6. Locate the following files on your system and email them to [email protected] or create a gist and link it in the issue report:
+    - `%appdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\ActivityLog.xml`
+    - `%localappdata%\temp\extension.log`
+    - `%localappdata%\GitHubVisualStudio\extension.log`
