These are the contribution guidelines for archiso. All contributions fall under the terms of the GPL-3.0-or-later (see LICENSE).

All ash and bash scripts are linted using shellcheck:

When adding, changing or removing something in a merge request, add a sentence to the CHANGELOG.rst explaining it. The changelog entry needs to be added to the unreleased section at the top, as that section is used for the next release.
Merge requests are not required to contain signed commits (using git commit -S - see man 1 git-commit).
The project maintainers may rebase a given merge request branch at their discretion (if possible), which may remove
signed commits.
The tip of the project's default branch is required to be a signed commit by the project maintainers.
For external contributors this means, that their merge request will be merged using --no-ff (see man 1 git-merge) in a signed merge commit, while contributions by the project maintainers
may be merged using --ff when the top-most commit of the source branch is signed by a valid PGP key of the given
maintainer.
Contributors are expected to test their contributions by building the releng profile and running the resulting image using run_archiso.
