If you're looking to help with development, fork the repo and use Git Flow model to create new feature branches for each new feature you add. develop branch is the default branch and should be considered unstable. All feature/release branches use develop as the base, NOT master. Master branch is only used for tagging new releases and should be considered stable. Hotfix branches will base from master and should be merged into master and back-merged into develop. Any PR's that are submitted should PR against either develop or any relevant release/ branch.
You will need docker to stand up your development environment, unless you really want to do it the harder way and build a server/vm. Once you clone the repo, you'll automatically be in the develop branch. To stand up the dev environment, just run
docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml build
docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d
You can then access the bot API over http://localhost:8000
When we're ready to deploy a new release, the release/ branch is merged into master and back-merged into develop. Clean up any merge conflicts. Then tag the release and push the tags to the repo. Once a new tag is published, Github Actions will login to the server and auto-build the new containers, then deploy them. You can see how this works by viewing the action yourself.
