+ Git guidelines +

+

+ We've chosen a set of guidelines to work by so that + everybody is clear about how the Git repositories will be + used. This should make life easier for developers and + users. The aim is to keep things clear and simple without + adding unnecessary overheads. We don't have need for + anything as complex as git-flow. +

+
    +
  1. + The master branch will always be buildable + and should be usable. Development work does not happen + here directly. +
  2. +
  3. + New releases will be taken from the master + branch and will be tagged there. +
  4. +
  5. + The master branch will never have its history rewritten. +
  6. +
  7. + Development work will be done on branches. These + branches may only live for the period of the development + work. Once the work is complete and tested it will be + merged to master and the branch may be deleted. +
  8. +
  9. + The history on development branches may be rewritten to + tidy things up before merging. This probably won't + happen often, but don't get upset if it does. +
  10. +
  11. + If you want to submit changes it's best to do them + against the master branch unless you're + specifically working with a developer on an issue + already. +
