+- CSS changes must be done in `.less` files first, never just in the compiled `.css` files
 - If modifying the `.less` files, always recompile and commit the compiled files `bootstrap.css` and `bootstrap.min.css`
 - Try not to pollute your pull request with unintended changes--keep them simple and small
 - Try to share which browsers your code has been tested in before submitting a pull request
