Member Requirements

As an Enterprise-focused organization, we require all core contributors and members to:

Use a verified custom domain email (e.g., @digitalserverhost.com).
Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on their GitHub account.
Commit Signing: Core members may be required to sign commits via GPG or other verified means to ensure provenance.

To maintain a clean and stable codebase, we follow a branch-based workflow:

main: The primary branch. It is protected and should always contain production-ready, stable code.
Feature Branches: All new features, bug fixes, or documentation updates should be developed in a dedicated feature branch.
Branch Naming: Use descriptive names for branches, prefixed by the type of work:
- feature/your-feature-name
- bugfix/issue-description
- chore/cleanup-task
- docs/update-guidelines

Fork the repository to your own GitHub account.
Clone the project to your machine.

[!TIP] Core members and those following GitHub best practices should preferably clone to: ~/github.com/DigitalServerHost/
Create a Branch for your changes. Use a descriptive name as outlined in the Branching Strategy section.
Commit changes to your newly created branch.
Push your work back up to your fork.
Submit a Pull Request so that we can review your changes.

NOTE: Ensure your local main is up-to-date with "upstream" before creating your feature branch!

Please ensure your code follows the style of the existing project. For support, contact support@digitalserverhost.com.
