Our version of React Native

We maintain our own version of React Native, in order to be able to apply fixes before they make it into an upstream release. (As of this writing, we don't yet actually build our app from our version -- we use a released version of RN -- but we plan to do that soon.)

Our repo is zulip/react-native on GitHub.

The workflow within that repo is:

  • Branch 0.N.M-zulip begins at commit v0.N.M from upstream, and adds some commits of our own (or of our own choosing, potentially contributed by other people in PRs to React Native.) For example, 0.55.4-zulip is a branch on top of v0.55.4, which is the tag for the 0.55.4 release.

  • Each of these branches works a lot like the master branch in this zulip/zulip-mobile repo or in the zulip/zulip repo. The branch is a linear sequence of commits, with no merges; and it advances only by adding new commits, never by rebasing or rewinding.

  • Contributing to one of these branches works just like contributing to master in this zulip/zulip-mobile repo; prepare a branch in your own GitHub fork, and send a PR.
