 ## Reporting bugs
 
-Report any bugs on github: <https://github.com/ezolenko/rollup-plugin-typescript2/issues>.
+Report any bugs [in the GitHub Issue Tracker](https://github.com/ezolenko/rollup-plugin-typescript2/issues).
 
-Attach your `tsconfig.json`, `package.json` (for versions of dependencies), rollup script and anything else that could influence module resolution, ambient types and typescript compilation.

-Check if problem is reproducible after running `npm prune` to clear any rogue types from npm_modules (by default typescript grabs all ambient types).

-Check if you get the same problem with `clean` option set to true (might indicate a bug in the cache).

 Attach plugin output with `verbosity` option set to 3 (this will list all files being transpiled and their imports).
 
 ## Developing
 
-Use the normal github process of forking, making a branch and creating a PR when ready. Fix all linting problems (run `npm lint`), fix any failed checks that are run on the PR (basically lint right now). Use an editor that supports editorconfig, or match the settings from `.editorconfig` file manually.

-Fastest way to test changes is to do a self build, the plugin is part of its own build system:
-- make changes
-- run `npm build` (uses last released version on npm)
-- check that you get expected changes in `dist`
-- run `npm build-self` (uses fresh local build)
-- check `dist` for the expected changes
-- run `npm build-self` _again_ to make sure plugin built by new version can still build itself

-If `build-self` breaks at some point, fix the problem and restart from `build` step (a known good copy).

-This repo badly needs unittests and integration tests with various scenarios and expected outcomes though.
