-`Clear communication`_ is key to contributing to any project, especially an
-`Open Source`_ project like CPython.
-
-Here is a quick overview of how you can contribute to CPython:
-
-#. `Create an issue`_ that describes your change. If it is trivial
-   (like :ref:`typo fixes <typo-fixes>`), or an issue already exists,
-   you can skip this step.
-
-#. :ref:`Create a new branch in Git <pullrequest-steps>` from the
-   ``main`` branch
-
-#. Work on changes: fix a bug or add a new feature
-
-#. :ref:`Run tests <runtests>` and ``make patchcheck``
-
-#. :ref:`Commit <commit-changes>` and :ref:`push <push-changes>`
-   changes to your GitHub fork
-
-#. `Create Pull Request`_ on GitHub to merge a branch from your fork
-
-#. Make sure the :ref:`continuous integration checks on your Pull Request
-   are green <keeping-ci-green>` (successful)
-
-#. Review and address `comments on your Pull Request`_
-
-#. When your changes are merged, you can :ref:`delete the PR branch
-   <deleting_branches>`
-
-#. Celebrate contributing to CPython! :)

-Don't force-push
-----------------
-
-In order to keep the commit history intact, please avoid squashing or amending
-history and then force-pushing to the PR. Reviewers often want to look at
-individual commits.
-When the PR is merged, everything will be squashed into a single commit.

+
+This is meant as a checklist and cheat-sheet, not a comprehensive guide.
+For complete instructions see the :ref:`setup guide <setup>` and the

+Set up Git
+==========
+
+Install and set up ``Git``.
+
+For detailed setup information, see :ref:`"Install Git" <vcsetup>`.
+There is also a more detailed :ref:`Git guide and cheat sheet <gitbootcamp>`.
+
+Fork and clone the repo
+-----------------------
+
+Fork `the CPython repository <https://github.com/python/cpython>`__
+to your GitHub account and clone the repo using::
+
+   git clone https://github.com/<your_username>/cpython
+   cd cpython
+
+For detailed information, see :ref:`"Get the source code" <checkout>`.

+
+Create issues and pull requests
+===============================
+
+Create issues for nontrivial changes
+------------------------------------
+
+For most changes, `create an issue <https://github.com/python/cpython/issues>`__
+before submitting a pull request.
+Trivial changes like typo fixes do not need issues.
+
+Create work branches
+--------------------
+
+Work on a feature or fix in a new branch in Git from the ``main`` branch::
+
+   git checkout -b fix-issue-12345 main
+
+Make changes, then :ref:`commit <commit-changes>` and
+:ref:`push to your fork <push-changes>`.
+
+Document your changes
+---------------------
+
+Many changes deserve a NEWS entry which documents what changed.
+For more information on how and when to write news entries,
+see :ref:`"Updating NEWS and What's New in Python" <news-entry>`.
+
+A news entry can be created locally with the :pypi:`blurb` tool
+and its ``blurb add`` command or online after a pull request has
+been opened with `blurb-it <https://blurb-it.herokuapp.com/>`__.
+
+For more information about how to create news entries, see
+:ref:`"How to add a NEWS entry" <news-entry-howto>`.
+
+Create pull requests
+--------------------
+
+Create pull requests on GitHub from your branches, on your fork, and make sure
+to put the relevant issue number in ``gh-NNNNNN``` format in the pull request title.
+For example:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+   gh-12345: Fix some bug in spam module
+
+See also, GitHub's documentation on `creating Pull Requests`_.
+
+For more detailed guidance, follow the :ref:`step-by-step pull request guide <pullrequest-steps>`.
+
+.. note::
+
+   First time contributors will need to sign the Contributor Licensing
+   Agreement (CLA) as described in the :ref:`Licensing <cla>` section of
+   this guide.
+
+.. _creating Pull Requests: https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request
+
+Work on your pull request
+-------------------------
+
+Make sure the :ref:`continuous integration checks on your Pull
+Request are green <keeping-ci-green>` (successful).
+
+Read and respond to reviewer comments on your pull request.
+
+See also, GitHub's documentation on `commenting on Pull Requests`_.
+
+.. note::
+
+   In order to keep the commit history intact, avoid squashing or amending
+   history and then force-pushing to the PR.
+   Reviewers often want to look at individual commits.
+
+   CPython uses squash merges, so PRs will end up as single commits when merged.
