13.1. Maintenance

Best is to run the BASH tests locally before any commit. You can find them in the tests folder. In .gitlab-ci.yml you can find the way how they are called and their dependencies.

Molecule tests are more and more supersized for laptops - thus a dedicated test server is planned to run them periodically and before merges.

Before any merge into the main branch the following has to be updated and checked as well:

• VERSION in top level directory

• CHANGELOG in top level directory

• version variable in docs/source/conf.py

• Roadmap in the documentation

• Local built version of the documentation as in the pages stage inside .gitlab-ci.yml
