Repository Branches

  • All development occurs on main; no content on that branch is to be considered authoritative.
  • When releases are made, they will be placed on a separate branch with the release name -- e.g., branch v1.2 would contain the 1.2 release of the guide.

Document Formats

The source format for this document is asciidoc (.adoc) as this works well when being viewed in github. Please note that all other formats are provided as a convenience; the asciidoc and PDF formats will generally look the best and get the most scrutiny. The asciidoc source is the canonical version, in the case of any differences, and all changes should be submitted against that source file.
