Thanks helping with the development of Elm! This document describes the basic standards for opening pull requests:
-
The master branch is the home of the next release of the compiler so new features and improvements get merged there. Most pull requests should target this branch!
-
The stable branch is for tagging previous releases and critical bug fixes. This branch is handy for folks who want to build the most recent public release from source.
If you are working on a fairly large feature, we will probably want to merge it in as its own branch and do some testing before bringing it into the master branch. This way we can keep releases of the master branch independent of new features.
Please open PRs against the master branch of Elm whenever possible.
Note that changes in the master branch of Elm are able to be compiled against the master branch of the elm-lang.org repo, and the stable branch of Elm is able to be built with the stable branch of the elm-lang.org repo. Please make sure that your changes maintain this compatibility.
