T-Craft Platforms is a collaborative initiative primarily focused on building Minecraft plugins, mods, and the infrastructure required to run them on servers. The organization aims to keep projects open-source whenever possible.

• Be respectful, constructive, and professional.
• Assume good intent and communicate openly.
• Follow common open-source etiquette.

• Create repositories as private/internal first if you are unsure.
• If you want to mark a repository as internal only (only visible for members), you must:
  1. Mark the repository as private
  2. Add the @Everyone team with at least Read access
• Only set a repository to public if you are sure it is intended for open-source.
• Never make a repository public if it:
  • Uses proprietary software
  • Depends on private or demo environments
• If a repository's purpose cannot be justified, it may be archived or removed at any time at the discretion of the organization administrators.
• Do not migrate repositories to or away from T-Craft Platforms without prior approval from the relevant code owners and organization administrators.

• Pushing directly to main is discouraged, especially on public repositories.
  • For public and internal repositories, a branch protection rule protecting at least the default branch is highly advised.
  • For private repositories, branch protection is the responsibility of the repository maintainers, but is also highly advised.
• Use the GitHub Issues Workflow correctly:
  1. Create an issue
  2. Create a branch linked to that issue
  3. Open a pull request
  4. Merge into main after review
• Use branch name prefixes whenever possible:
  • feature/
  • bug/
  • security/
• Avoid loose or unnamed branches.

• Use repository issues for detailed, specific feature requests or tasks.
• Always consider:
  • Is this limited to one repository?
  • Or does it affect multiple repositories?

• Use GitHub Projects (Kanban recommended) for planning and tracking.

Use Discussions for:

• Announcements
• Ideas and coarse feature requests
• Polls
• Questions & answers
