### PR recommendations
To allow your work to be integrated as seamlessly as possible, we advise you to:
- βœ… Verify your PR is **up-to-date with upstream/master.** If your PR is behind upstream/master an
automatic [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/blob/master/.github/workflows/rebase.yml) merge may
be attempted by writing /rebase in a new comment, or by running the following code, replacing 'feature' with the name
of your local branch:
```bash
git remote add upstream https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5.git
git fetch upstream
# git checkout feature # <--- replace 'feature' with local branch name
git merge upstream/master
git push -u origin -f
```
- βœ… Verify all Continuous Integration (CI) **checks are passing**.
- βœ… Reduce changes to the absolute **minimum** required for your bug fix or feature addition. _"It is not daily increase
but daily decrease, hack away the unessential. The closer to the source, the less wastage there is."_ β€” Bruce Lee
## Submitting a Bug Report πŸ›
If you spot a problem with YOLOv5 please submit a Bug Report!
For us to start investigating a possible problem we need to be able to reproduce it ourselves first. We've created a few
short guidelines below to help users provide what we need in order to get started.
When asking a question, people will be better able to provide help if you provide **code** that they can easily
understand and use to **reproduce** the problem. This is referred to by community members as creating
a [minimum reproducible example](https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example). Your code that reproduces
the problem should be:
* βœ… **Minimal** – Use as little code as possible that still produces the same problem
* βœ… **Complete** – Provide **all** parts someone else needs to reproduce your problem in the question itself
* βœ… **Reproducible** – Test the code you're about to provide to make sure it reproduces the problem
In addition to the above requirements, for [Ultralytics](https://ultralytics.com/) to provide assistance your code
should be:
* βœ… **Current** – Verify that your code is up-to-date with current
GitHub [master](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/tree/master), and if necessary `git pull` or `git clone` a new
copy to ensure your problem has not already been resolved by previous commits.
* βœ… **Unmodified** – Your problem must be reproducible without any modifications to the codebase in this
repository. [Ultralytics](https://ultralytics.com/) does not provide support for custom code ⚠️.
If you believe your problem meets all of the above criteria, please close this issue and raise a new one using the πŸ› **
Bug Report** [template](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/issues/new/choose) and providing
a [minimum reproducible example](https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example) to help us better
understand and diagnose your problem.
