Info for RDF4J Developers

  • Developer workflow and project management

    In this document the Eclipse RDF4J project workflow and developer best practices are explained. It contains information on how to create branches, tag releases, manage pull requests, create and schedule issues, and so on.


  • RDF4J merge strategy

    RDF4J values a clean but accurate commit history on our main branches, where commits are meaningfully described and linked back to the issue that they address. To achieve this, we merge everything using merge-commits, and we may ask you to squash your pull request branch before we merge it.


  • Release management

    This document outlines how to create a new release of RDF4J.


  • Squashing Commits

    When submitting a pull request to RDF4J, we sometimes ask that you squash your commits, to clean up the commit history a bit. Here we explain a simple way to do that.
