# Development
## Branching Strategy
Profilarr uses **GitHub Flow** with **Release Channels**.
- All development happens on `main`
- Feature branches for isolated work
- Tags trigger Docker image builds
## Release Channels
| Channel | Docker Tag | Trigger | Stability |
| ------- | ---------- | ------------------- | --------- |
| Develop | `:develop` | Every push to main | Unstable |
| Beta | `:beta` | `v*-beta.*` tag | Testing |
| Stable | `:latest` | `v*` tag (no -beta) | Stable |
Version-specific tags (`:v2.1.0`) are also created for pinning.
## Development Workflow
### Daily Work
```bash
git add .
git commit -m "feat: description"
git push
```
Pushes to `main` automatically build the `:develop` image.
### Feature Branches
For larger features, use a branch:
```bash
git checkout -b feature/name
# work...
git checkout main
git merge feature/name
git branch -d feature/name
```
## Release Process
### 1. Beta Release
```bash
git tag v2.1.0-beta.1
git push --tags
```
### 2. Beta Fixes
```bash
git commit -m "fix: issue from beta"
git push
git tag v2.1.0-beta.2
git push --tags
```
### 3. Stable Release
After minimum 1 week in beta with no major issues:
```bash
git tag v2.1.0
git push --tags
```
## Release Timing
**Stable Releases**: Wednesday
- Beta releases can be tagged any day. Must be in beta for at least a week
before tagged as stable
## Versioning
[Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/):
```
v2.1.0-beta.1
│ │ │ └──── Pre-release identifier
│ │ └───────── Patch (bug fixes)
│ └─────────── Minor (new features, backwards compatible)
└───────────── Major (breaking changes)
```
| Change | Bump |
| --------------- | ------------------- |
| Bug fix | `v2.1.0``v2.1.1` |
| New feature | `v2.1.0``v2.2.0` |
| Breaking change | `v2.1.0``v3.0.0` |
## Commit Messages
Use [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/):
```
feat: add new feature
fix: resolve bug
docs: update documentation
refactor: restructure code
chore: maintenance tasks
```
## Hotfixes
For critical bugs in stable:
```bash
git commit -m "fix: critical issue"
git push
git tag v2.1.1
git push --tags
```
