Contribution guidelines for Daisy

Pull requests

All PRs should merge to dev. See "branching" below.

Versioning

Daisy uses semantic versioning, which looks like maj.min.patch. In short:

• maj: Incremented on large, incompatible changes
• min: Incremented on new features
• patch: Incremented on bugfixes

Whenever one of the above fields is incremented, all sub-fields are reset to zero. When min is incremented, patch is set to zero.

Branching

Daisy uses a branch model much like the one described here.

• master: 1 commit = 1 release. This is always a merge comit from dev, and is always tagged with a version.
• dev: main development branch. Never deleted. Most work happens here.
• features: temporary branches pulled from dev and merged to dev for larger features.
• Always merge with git's --no-ff option for a more detailed history.
