Help new contributers by adding CONTRIBUTING.md.

[justindhillon]

CONTRIBUTING.md tells new contributors how to make pull requests. Here is what it looks like:

Contributing

1. Fork it
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
3. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some feature')
4. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
5. Create new Pull Request

Nice idea! Maybe it would be useful to add sth like " Run ruff check . before pushing.

Sounds great! The CONTRIBUTING.md file now looks like this:

Contributing

1. Fork it
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
3. Test your changes (ruff check .)
4. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some feature')
5. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
6. Create new Pull Request

Thanks @jerryjliu ! I ran the commands and now all tests pass. I also added the formating your code step to the Contributing.md file. It now looks like this:

Contributing

1. Fork it
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
3. Test your changes (ruff check .)
4. Format your code (make format; make lint)
5. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some feature')
6. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
7. Create new Pull Request

Ready to merge.
