A few hopefully helpful hints to contributing to Candy

5. Create a branch based on the `dev` branch (`git checkout -B my-awesome-feature`)
6. Run `grunt watch` to automatically run jshint (syntax checker) and the build of `candy.bundle.js` and `candy.min.js` while developing.
7. Make your changes, fix eventual *jshint* errors & push them back to your fork
8. Create a [pull request](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests)
