Translations:Source code management/58/en

Everybody can access and get a copy of the FreeCAD source code, but only the FreeCAD project managers have write access to it. You can get a copy of the code, study it and modify it as you wish, but if you want your changes to be included in the official source code, you need to perform a "pull request" against the master repository so that your modifications can be reviewed by the managers. This style of development is known as the Dictator and lieutenants workflow, as the core developers (dictators) and trusted developers (lieutenants) filter the code that is submitted by independent developers and users.
