CONTRIBUTING.mdto the organisation's.githubrepository. GitHub shows this file as the contributing guide of every 51Degrees repository that has noCONTRIBUTING.mdof its own, which until now was all of them exceptcommon-ci,51degrees-java,caching-dotnetand two forks.The guide says what the
rcapproach to releases asks of a contributor:rcand open the pull request againstrc,rcintomainmakes a release, opened by 51Degrees,mainfrom anything else fails the "Only rc into main" check where that check runs,rcbranch takes pull requests against its default branch, and a fork's changes go to the project it was forked from.Everything else, including the release steps, stays in the common-ci contributing guide, which already describes
rcin its Branching Strategy section. The guides in51degrees-javaandcaching-dotnetpoint at that guide too.The guide takes effect for other repositories once this reaches
main.
