We welcome new contributers to GumTree. The process we use is the following:

Release policy

GumTree is released regularly. The versions number follow the semantic versioning scheme. Each release is associated to a tag in the master branch. Major releases are associated to a name. The current list of releases is:

• Oak (v1.0.0) We will also try to associate a working jar to each release.

Branch policy

Master branch

• The master branch is supposed to be always working and contains all gumtree releases.
• Specific releases are associated to tags. Tags are named using semantic versioning.
• Bugfixes are directly commited to the master branch.

Develop branch

• Development takes place on the develop branch.
• New features are developed in dedicated branches. These branches are then pull-requested into develop and peer-reviewed before integration.
