+# Contributing to Pefetto
+This project uses [Android AOSP Gerrit][perfetto-gerrit] for code reviews and
+uses the [Google C++ style][google-cpp-style] and targets `-std=c++11`.
+
+`git cl upload` from [Chromium depot tools][depot-tools] is the preferred
+workflow to upload patches, as it supports presubmits and code formatting via
+`git cl format`.
+
+See https://source.android.com/source/contributing for more details about
+external contributions and CLA signing.
+
+
+### Continuous integration
+
+Continuous build and test coverage is available at
+[perfetto-ci.appspot.com](https://perfetto-ci.appspot.com).
+
+**Trybots**: CLs uploaded to gerrit are automatically submitted to TravisCI
+within one minute and available on the CI page.
