Javi Martín 470ee07e77 Add information about coding conventions
We split the section about pull requests, reducing the steps needed to
contribute since there's already a link to help people working on their
first pull request, and the rest don't need to be told to fork the repo.

# How to Contribute to this Project
## Code of conduct
The core team members and the project's community adopt an inclusive Code of Conduct that you can read in the [CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) file.
## Reporting an issue
The prefered way to report any bug is [opening an issue in the project's repo](https://github.com/consul/consul/issues/new).
## Solving an issue
[Issues labeled with help wanted](https://github.com/consul/consul/labels/help%20wanted) are well defined features ready to be implemented by whoever wants to do it.
If you want to contribute code to solve an issue:
* Add a comment to tell everyone you are working on the issue.
* Open a *pull request* to the main repository describing what issue you are addressing and following our [coding conventions](#coding-conventions)
**Working on your first Pull Request?** You can learn how from this *free* series [How to Contribute to an Open Source Project on GitHub](https://egghead.io/series/how-to-contribute-to-an-open-source-project-on-github)
## Coding conventions
If you'd like us to review your pull request in good spirits, please follow our coding conventions:
* Include specs to test any changes you've made
* Travis CI will check whether the rest of the application is still working properly; check its build and make sure all tests are passing
* Your pull request will be automatically reviewed by Hound CI; fix any issues it reports
* Follow [the seven rules of a great commit message](https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/)
When we review your pull request and ask for changes, if you're proficient using `git rebase` edit existing commits instead of adding new ones. If you aren't proficient with `git rebase`, ignore this point.
## Other ways of contributing without coding
* If you think there's a feature missing, or find a bug, create an issue (make sure it has not already been reported).
* You can also help promoting the project talking about it in your social networks.
## How to report an issue
* Try to use a descriptive and to-the-point title
* It's a good idea to include some of these sections:
* Steps to reproduce the bug
* Expected behaviour/response
* Actual response
* Sometimes it is also helpful if you mention your operating system, browser version and installed plugins.
Thanks! :heart: :heart: :heart:
