# Guidelines
## For Development
- help us putting your code into production by opening a meaningful issue
- stay simple for the user by focusing on the mantra "convention over configuration"
- at installation the site should work reasonable without (m)any configuration
- stay close to the Hugo way
- don't use npm or any preprocessing, our contributors may not be front-end developers
- document new features in exampleSite
- don't break existing features if you don't have to
- remove reported issue from the browser's console
- be compatible to IE11, at least for main functionality, for Javascript this means:
- test in IE11
- check caniuse.com
- don't use arrow functions
- don't use template literals
- don't use other fancy new ES5/6 stuff
## For Release
- create releases following [semver policy](https://semver.org/)
- we are using [gren](https://github.com/github-tools/github-release-notes) to generate the changelog and releases
### One Time Steps
- Generate API Token as described in [gren's README.md](https://github.com/github-tools/github-release-notes)
- On Windows do `setx GREN_GITHUB_TOKEN <API TOKEN>` and restart your shell
### Steps per Release
- close all issues of the milestone or push them back to an open milestone
- close the milestone
- Tag and push the repo
```shell
git tag --message "" <tag>
git push origin <tag>
```
- regenerate changelog with _gren_
```shell
npx github-release-notes@0.17.1 changelog --generate --override --tags=all
```
- add the changelog to git and update the tag
```shell
git add exampleSite/content/basics/CHANGELOG.md
git commit --message "Ship tag <tag>"
git push origin main
git tag --message "" --force <tag>
git push --force origin <tag>
```
- generate release with _gren_
```shell
npx github-release-notes@0.17.1 release --tags <tag>
```
