Branching Strategy

As discussed earlier, Please label new branches with the suggested feature request or Bug report.

  • main branch contains the stable, released version
  • dev branch is for ongoing development (Pull Requests go here)
  • Feature branches should be created for new content or significant changes�

Release Cycle

  • Pull requests are merged into the dev branch when I get a chance. The main branch is updated with the 'dev' branch when there are substantial changes.
  • Hotfixes for critical issues should be flagged as CRITICAL and follow the same branch structure as everything else.
