Development Process

Merge requests need to be approved by a maintainer.

Stable branch

We recomment out users to include template from stable branch.

GitLab contains 5-Minute-Production-App template which is equivalent of deploy.yml from stable branch. As result any change to the stable branch should be backward compatible with old deploy.yml as much as possible.

We don't push directly to stable branch. Instead we do a merge request from master to stable.
