This page is dedicated for reference information used by the Apache Shiro development team when performing tasks as a committer or contributor.

Writing Documentation

All non-JavaDoc documentation is managed in our apache/shiro-site repo.

Source Code Repository

We use a Git repository located at git://git.apache.org/shiro.git. You can also browse the mirrored repository on GitHub, located at https://github.com/apache/shiro-site.

Active development is done in the main branch, and maintenance typically on the 1.N.x branch (where N is the current feature release and x is static).

Building from Git

For Shiro cutting-edge development, you can clone the code from Git and build it using Maven 3.6+:

Check out the code:

git clone https://github.com/apache/shiro.git

Build the project using Maven 3.6+:
```
cd shiro
mvn verify
```

Cutting-edge development

When building from main or any branches, use the generated artifacts at your own risk! Current and previous stable releases will always be available via the Download page.
