### PR recommendations
To allow your work to be integrated as seamlessly as possible, we advise you to:
- βœ… Verify your PR is **up-to-date** with `ultralytics/yolov5` `master` branch. If your PR is behind you can update
your code by clicking the 'Update branch' button or by running `git pull` and `git merge master` locally.

- βœ… Verify all YOLOv5 Continuous Integration (CI) **checks are passing**.

but daily decrease, hack away the unessential. The closer to the source, the less wastage there is."_ β€” Bruce Lee
## Submitting a Bug Report πŸ›
If you spot a problem with YOLOv5 please submit a Bug Report!
For us to start investigating a possible problem we need to be able to reproduce it ourselves first. We've created a few
short guidelines below to help users provide what we need to get started.
When asking a question, people will be better able to provide help if you provide **code** that they can easily
understand and use to **reproduce** the problem. This is referred to by community members as creating
a [minimum reproducible example](https://docs.ultralytics.com/help/minimum_reproducible_example/). Your code that reproduces
the problem should be:
- βœ… **Minimal** – Use as little code as possible that still produces the same problem
- βœ… **Complete** – Provide **all** parts someone else needs to reproduce your problem in the question itself
- βœ… **Reproducible** – Test the code you're about to provide to make sure it reproduces the problem
In addition to the above requirements, for [Ultralytics](https://ultralytics.com/) to provide assistance your code
should be:
- βœ… **Current** – Verify that your code is up-to-date with the current
GitHub [master](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/tree/master), and if necessary `git pull` or `git clone` a new
copy to ensure your problem has not already been resolved by previous commits.
- βœ… **Unmodified** – Your problem must be reproducible without any modifications to the codebase in this
repository. [Ultralytics](https://ultralytics.com/) does not provide support for custom code ⚠️.
If you believe your problem meets all of the above criteria, please close this issue and raise a new one using the πŸ›
**Bug Report** [template](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/issues/new/choose) and provide
a [minimum reproducible example](https://docs.ultralytics.com/help/minimum_reproducible_example/) to help us better
understand and diagnose your problem.
