Contributing

Contributing to GobiSerial

This is a general quick & dirty guide to contributing to GobiSerial.

git flow

GobiSerial runs on gitflow.

It's not obligatory to use it, but it makes your development process so much more organized in general. If you haven't already, try it out now. For your sake. :-)

Features branching

So, in general, we add features using

  git flow feature start <featurename>

where featurename consists of:

• device<DEVICENAME> for new devices support (i. e. HPun2430).
• kernel<X.Y[.Z]> for supporting new kernel releases when needed (i. e. 3.5 or 3.5.9).
• <NAME> for features not falling into any of these categories (i. e. DKMS).
