1. Fork the repository only, if you want to contribute. If read only access is enough for you, simply clone this repository directly or download the ZIP file.
2. Don’t modify the master branch directly. Touch the master branch only when merging in a feature branch.
3. Use feature branches for every kind of modifications, including fixes. Name the branch with the issue number and the title, prefixed with the type of your contribution (e.g. "enhancement") as a directory. If there is no issue for your change, create one.
4. When you commit your work, always mention the issue number in the commit message.
5. When you merge the feature branch into the master branch, don’t use fast forward (-no-ff)!
6. After merging, tag the master branch for archiving. Use the same name for the tag as for the feature branch, prefixed by “archive/“.
7. If it is no longer in use, delete the feature branch.
8. When you push the master branch from your clone to your fork, push the archiving tag, too!
