To create a Pull Request to the OpenBB Platform, you'll need to fork the repository and create a new branch.

1. Create your Feature Branch, e.g. git checkout -b feature/AmazingFeature
2. Check the files you have touched using git status
3. Stage the files you want to commit, e.g. git add openbb_terminal/stocks/stocks_controller.py openbb_terminal/stocks/stocks_helper.py. Note: DON'T add any files with personal information.
4. Write a concise commit message under 50 characters, e.g. git commit -m "meaningful commit message". If your PR solves an issue raised by a user, you may specify such issue by adding #ISSUE_NUMBER to the commit message, so that these get linked. Note: If you installed pre-commit hooks and one of the formatters re-formats your code, you'll need to go back to step 3 to add these.

Install pre-commit hooks

To install pre-commit hooks, run pre-commit install in the root of the repository.
