Working with .asf.yaml

.asf.yaml is a branch-specific YAML configuration file that a project may create (using a text editor of your choice) and put in the root of a Git repository to control features such as

• notification schemes
• website staging
• GitHub settings
• Pelican builds

It operates on a per-branch basis, meaning you can have different settings for different branches, and only those with an active .asf.yaml file will kick off a feature. Metadata settings (repo settings, features, labels) are not branch-dependent and should exist in the main (default) branch.

Full documentation and examples for using .asf.yaml are currently in the README file of the GitHub repository for .asf.yaml.
