The current workflow for contributing is:

• Fork debexpo project to your personal workspace
• Work on a dedicated branch. (you can prefix your branch by fix/, feature/, doc/)
• When the hack is ready AND covered by tests, create a new merge request against the live branch for us to review.

We do ask that any code added/modified is covered by tests before merging.
