Contributing to Ansible
=======================
Please read the following information to learn how to contribute to this project.
Branch Info
===========
* The devel branch corresponds to the latest ongoing release
* Various release-X.Y branches exist for previous releases
* All feature work happens on the development branch.
* Major bug fixes will be made to the last release branch only
* See CHANGELOG.md for release notes to track each release.
Patch Instructions
==================
Contributions to the core and modules are greatly welcome.
* Required Process:
* Submit github pull requests to the "ansible/devel" branch for features
* Fixes for bugs may also be submitted to "ansible/release-X.Y" for the last release
* Make sure "make tests" passes before submitting any requests.
* Bonus points:
* Joining the mailing list
* Fixing bugs instead of sending bug reports.
* Using squash merges
* Updating the "rst/*" files in the docs project and "docs/" manpage content
* Adding more unit tests
* Avoid:
* Sending patches to the mailing list directly.
* Sending feature pull requests to the 'release' branch instead of the devel branch
* Sending pull requests to mpdehaan's personal ansible fork.
