This project follows the GitFlow branching model. The master branch always reflects a production-ready state while the latest development is taking place in the develop branch.

Each time you want to work on a fix or a new feature, create a new branch based on the develop branch: git checkout -b BRANCH_NAME develop. Only pull requests to the develop branch will be merged.

Pull requests are highly appreciated.

Solve a problem. Features are great, but even better is cleaning-up and fixing issues in the code that you discover.
