What issue?

Usually a git(1) bug can be reproduced with a set of commands (reproduction). And some part of the output demonstrates that there is a bug. Which could be:

- The output itself tells you it’s a `BUG` (code path that should be
  unreachable)
- The output or behavior is unreasonable or unexpected given the context

Then you provide it here in the bug report.  Like:

```
BUG: this should never happen but it did (<file>:<line>)
```

There’s also git-bugreport(1) which you can use to fill out such a report. That will record things like your Git version and other relevant system info.

It is standard to credit bug reporters in this project.
