Contributing Guide

How do I add my changes to the main branch?

1. Create a separate branch with your changes.
2. Push your changes to the GitHub repository.
3. Create a pull request to merge your changes into the main branch.
4. Once the pull request is approved, you can merge your changes into the main branch.

Why can't I add my changes directly to the main branch?

The main branch is a special branch where all new changes are branched from. As such, the main branch should always be in a working state so anyone can create a branch and add their changes from a point in time when the project is still functional. If the main branch is ever in a broken state, a fix should quickly be implemented, reviewed, and merged in to bring the main branch back into a working state.
