What is this project ?

This project is NOT the official VTK repository.

It is a fork of VTK sources hosted at https://github.com/Kitware/VTK.

The official upstream repository is https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk.

It is used as staging area to maintain topics specific to Kitware projects like Slicer Custom Application or Extension that will eventually be contributed back to the official repository.

What is the branch naming convention ?

Each branch is named following the pattern kitware-custom-app-vX.Y.Z-YYYY-MM-DD-SHA{N}

where:

• kitware-custom-app is the name of the custom application or extension. Two cases:
  • can be publicly disclosed: replace with the name of the application or extension (e.g cell-locator)
  • can NOT be publicly disclosed: use the literal prefix kitware-custom-app or k12345-custom-app where 12345 is the internal Kitware ID)
• vX.Y.Z is the version of VTK
• YYYY-MM-DD is the date of the last official commit associated with the branch.
• SHA{N} are the first N characters of the last official commit associated with the branch.
