  • develop - This branch has often new features, but might also contain breaking changes. We try hard to keep this branch as stable as possible.
  • stable - This branch contains the latest stable release. This branch is generally well tested.
  • feat/* - These are feature branches, which are being worked on heavily. Please don't use these unless you want to test a specific feature.

Pull Requests

Feel like our bot is missing a feature? We welcome your pull requests!

Please read our Contributing document to understand the requirements before sending your pull-requests.

Coding is not a necessity to contribute - maybe start with improving our documentation? Issues labeled good first issue can be good first contributions, and will help get you familiar with the codebase.

Note before starting any major new feature work, please open an issue describing what you are planning to do or talk to us on discord (please use the #dev channel for this). This will ensure that interested parties can give valuable feedback on the feature, and let others know that you are working on it.

Important: Always create your PR against the develop branch, not stable.
