• We will collect knowledges about CYFS here.
• Anyone can submit their insights or introductory documents, it may be employed in the official documentation repository.
• You can learn here when you have some problems.
• You can make an issue or discussion when you cannot fix your problem yourself or you found an error.

How to manage the documents?

• There are 3 branchs in the repository:

Branch	Description	Inclusion conditions	Manager
official	Documents approved by the team	Accurate content, high level of writing, easy to understand	Senior developers of relevant modules + project administrators
checked	Documentation reviewed by the team	The content is accurate, but the writing is flawed and difficult to read	Senior developers of relevant modules or project administrators
draft	Unchecked document	There may be errors in the content, which need to be corrected. If you find an error, you can initiate a discussion or submit a Pull request to correct it.	Any one can update the repository

1. When you want to submit a document, you should do as follow:

   • Fork the branch draft to your own repository.
   • Finish your documents, create a new one or update an exist one.
   • Post a Pull request to the branch draft in official repository.
   • Wait the team to merge your documents, you can also create a issue or discussion to publish your documents.

2. When someone with write permissions find a Pull request, he can do as follow:

   • If obvious problems are found, reject it and note the reason.
   • Otherwise merge it to the branch draft.

3. The managers periodically compares draft and checked branches, They will check the Commits as follow:

   • Make a Patch include the proofreaded Commits in the draft branch.
   • Ignore the Commits with errors and feedback to the writer(create a discussion and @ the auther?).

4. How to decide to include the Patch?

   • Issue a vote on Patch, the lead developers of related modules and managers are invited to join.

   • They will give each commit a score while voting.

   • If the vote is passed, the Patch will be included in the checked branch, otherwise the error in it will be noted.

   • If the score is high enough, the Patch will be included in the official branch.

     Notes: We use cherry-pick or format-patch to merge each commit, instead of merge or rebase, to avoid merging unqualified commits into. Therefore, we should submit as little and complete content as possible each time.

   git cherry-pick <commit-hash>
   git format-path ...
