If you want to contribute a file to the database, please make a PR which adds it to the right folder and adds a new entry to the table in this readme.
To take advantage of the automatic pattern testing, please consider adding a test file named <pattern_name>.hexpat.<extension> to the /tests/patterns/test_data directory. Try to keep this file as small as possible so the repository doesn't become excessively large
Thanks a lot :)
