Design philosophy

Dependencies

Wherever possible dependencies must be avoided. Felling is intended to always be used and must therefore be as lightweight as possible

Errors

If a process is specifically requested, such as package_versions_to_log then errors should be raised
If a process is default operation of felling, such as _get_git_commit_hash errors should be handled and logs written

Tests

As felling is intended to be used everywhere it must have comprehensive tests

Example names

Wherever possible try to use tree species as example names, such as: Ash, Birch, Willow
