That is the **only** branch the GitHub workflow will deploy to your container registry. Don't make any changes to the original "template" branch. It should remain untouched. By using this branch structure, you ensure a clear separation between your own "published image" branch, your development branches, and the original upstream "template" branch. Periodically sync and fast-forward the upstream "template" branch to the most recent revision. Then, simply rebase your `live` branch onto the updated template to effortlessly incorporate the latest improvements into your own repository, without the need for any messy, manual "merge commits". diff --git a/config/README.md b/config/README.md index 1e07befff2..23337d6d5b 100644 --- a/config/README.md +++ b/config/README.md @@ -16,16 +16,27 @@ At the top of the recipe, there are four *mandatory* configuration options. ## Modules -The core of startingpoint's configuration is built around the idea of modules.
