A code of conduct is a set of rules or guidelines that outlines expected behavior within a particular community, organization, or project. It serves as a framework for fostering a positive and inclusive environment by promoting respectful interactions and mitigating potential conflicts.

You can typically find the code of conduct in a project's GitHub repository, often in the root directory or in a folder named "docs" or "community." It may be named "codeofconduct.md" or something similar. It's also sometimes accessible in the right-side panel of the project's GitHub repository interface.

Before raising an issue regarding a project, it's generally a good idea to familiarize yourself with the project's code of conduct and ensure that your behavior aligns with it. This ensures a respectful and productive environment for all participants in the project. If you have any questions about the code of conduct or need clarification on any points, you can reach out to the project maintainers for guidance.

Expectations from members regarding COC

It is a good idea to familiarize yourself with it before raising an issue to ensure no harassment occurs during the process.
If someone fails to follow the COC then they may get banned from that project either permanently or temporarily. Don't worry this will not impact you untill you do something very extreme which is not appropriate
It's all about being respectful and keeping the vibes positive as everything is communicated through words
