The Zephyr project defines a development process workflow using GitHub
|
|
**Issues** to track feature, enhancement, and bug reports together with GitHub
|
|
**Pull Requests** (PRs) for submitting and reviewing changes. Zephyr
|
|
community members work together to review these Issues and PRs, managing
|
|
feature enhancements and quality improvements of Zephyr through its regular
|
|
releases, as outlined in the
|
|
`program management overview <https://wiki.zephyrproject.org/Program-Management>`_.
|
|
|
|
We can only manage the volume of Issues and PRs, by requiring timely reviews,
|
|
feedback, and responses from the community and contributors, both for initial
|
|
submissions and for followup questions and clarifications. Read about the
|
|
project's :ref:`development processes and tools <dev-environment-and-tools>`
|
|
and specifics about :ref:`review timelines <review_time>` to learn about the
|
|
project's goals and guidelines for our active developer community.
|
|
|
|
:ref:`project_roles` describes in detail the Zephyr project roles and associated permissions
|
|
with respect to the development process workflow.

Terminology
|
|
***********
|
|
|
|
- mainline: The main tree where the core functionality and core features are
|
|
being developed.
|
|
- subsystem/feature branch: is a branch within the same repository. In our case,
|
|
we will use the term branch also when referencing branches not in the same
|
|
repository, which are a copy of a repository sharing the same history.
|
|
- upstream: A parent branch the source code is based on. This is the branch you
|
|
pull from and push to, basically your upstream.
|
|
- LTS: Long Term Support
