⚠️ New branch model

The master branch of this repository will be renamed alpha, becoming the new "default" branch. This is part of release automation to implement pre-releases (alpha, beta) to mature versions before official release.

✔️ Steps

  • If you have a clone locally or forked remotely, you will need to update your clones according to the GitHub instructions:

    git branch -m master alpha
    git fetch origin
    git branch -u origin/alpha alpha
    git remote set-head origin -a
    
  • When you open a pull request, make sure to open it against the new alpha branch.

  • For any repository you can look into the branch list to find out which branch the default branch is if you are unsure.

🌵Branch model

  • alpha: The working branch, replacing master; example release tag 1.0.0-alpha.1.
  • beta: The branch to mature before making an official release; example release tag 1.0.0-beta.1.
  • release: The official release; example release tag 1.0.0.
