All master or stable/* changes are always pushed\n      to both repositories at the same time.\n\n    Repository Branches: 'git branch -a'\n\t  Master Branch:\n\t   - Continuously developed, no feature freeze or translation freezes.\n\t   - Day-to-day status is: 'it works for me'. This means that its\n\t     normal state is useful but not well tested.\n\n\t  Stable Branches:\n\t   - Public releases.\n\t   - Branch name: stable/v\u003cmajor\u003e.\u003cminor\u003e.\n\t   - Created from the 'master' branch.\n\t   - The release candidates and final release are always based\n             on the stable branch.\n\t   - Maintenance releases are part of, and belong to, their respective\n\t     stable branch. As such, they are tags(\u003cmajor\u003e.\u003cminor\u003e.\u003cmaint\u003e) and\n\t     not branches of their own. They are not part of, visible in, or\n\t     have anything to do with the 'master' development branch. In git\n\t     terminology: maintenance releases are not reachable from 'master'.\n\t   - When initially cloned (as with the 'git clone' command given above),\n\t     these branches are created as 'remote tracking branches' and are\n\t     only visible by using the -a or -r options to 'git branch'. To\n\t     create a local branch, use the desired tag with this command:\n\t     'git checkout -b v2.29.2 v2.29.2'\n\n    Tags: 'git tag'\n\t   - v\u003cversion\u003e tag is created in the stable branch for every release.\n\t   - v\u003cversion\u003e-start is created in the master branch to start work on the next release.\n\t   - All tags are signed by the maintainer's PGP key.\n\n\nWORKFLOW EXAMPLE:\n\n    Development                     Releases\n    (Master Branch)                 (Stable/vX.Y Branch)\n\n    - Sync latest translations\n      from translationproject.org\n    - Tag v\u003cX.Y+1\u003e-devel            - Fork from master to stable/v\u003cX.Y\u003e branch\n                                      - Code stabilization\n                                    - RC1 (Tag v\u003cX.Y\u003e-rc1)\n                                      - Backport bug fixes\n                                    - RC2 (Tag v\u003cX.Y\u003e-rc2)\n                                      - po/ and po-man/ translations available on\n                                        translationproject.org/\n                                      - Wait 7-17 days for translators\n                                      - Sync latest translations\n                                      - Backport bug fixes\n                                    - Final release v\u003cX.Y\u003e (Tag v\u003cX.Y\u003e)\n                                      ...\n                                    - Release v\u003cX.Y\u003e.1\n                                      ...\n                                    - Release v\u003cX.Y\u003e.2\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Futil-linux%2Futil-linux","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Futil-linux%2Futil-linux","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Futil-linux%2Futil-linux/lists"}
