Addons Forge

Typical development workflow:

• Fork - once per person
• Clone - once per computer
• Create new branch - once per addon (or set of addons). For managers only, because push access is needed.
• Get branch from upstream - once per addon
• PR to addons-dev - as much as needed.
• Merge PR to addons-dev - as much as needed. For managers only.
• Final PR to target repo - once per addon
• After accepting Final PR, addon is published at apps store automatically with a delay of up to 24 hours
• Further updates - PRs are sent directly to target repo.
