All Editors, Coordinators and Sponsors of specifications in draft & review stage have access to push to this (php-fig/fig-standards) repository; subject to secretary discretion
All Editors, Coordinators and Sponsors of specifications have push access to utility and interface repositories and retrain this even after acceptance; subject to secretary discretion.
The master branch of all repositories are protected and therefore cannot be forced pushed to.
Secretaries have, and are the only ones to have, full administrative access to all repositories and to the github organisation.
- Never force push to any branch on a repository in the php-fig organisation
- All changes must go through pull requests, a commit should never be pushed directly (excluding inital commits on new interface/util repositories) to master
- All pull requests relating to a draft PSR must be approved (with a formal +1 comment) or merged by the PSR Editor, except in the review phase when the coordinator should seek commment from the editor, but merging is at the coordinator's discretion
- You must never merge a pull request that affects any file in the repository other than those you are on a working group for; you should request a secretary or member of that working group (mention @php-fig/psr-x) do so
- You should never merge your own pull request
- A change should never be merged to an accepted PSR without approval from secretaries, who will attempt to seek confirmation from the former Editors
- A change to bylaws shouldn't be merged by anyone other than a secretary
- Pull requests may be triaged (have labels applied) by anyone with push access, no matter which PSR they are on the working group for or which PSR it affects; but they cannot close a pull request or issue affecting other PSRs
- After approval of a specification, all merges to an interface or utility repository must be approved by a secretary; who is required to give suitable notice and seek comment from the working group team, but it is not required that they approve
- Tags on utility and interface repositories should be created and PGP signed by Secretaries, who should publish their PGP public keys and register them on github
These guidelines are subject to exceptions and changes at secretaries discretion. Should you have any questions please contact the secretaries on info [at] php-fig [dot] org. Failure to comply with guidelines will result in revokation of merge access. Merge access is a privilege and not a right.
Tagging on utility and interface repository should be done regularly, ideally after every merge, or every batch of merges after PSR approval.
Versioning should follow semantic versioning and primarily just be simple patch fix increments (following semantic versioning). The first 1.0.0 tag should be created on PSR approval.
All tags should be PGP signed by Secretaries.
A changelog should be provided including a list of changes, crediting the contributor and referencing the pull request/issue.
