Developers

Platforms

If a custom development is needed for a platform, cd to the folder, then push to the local platform, the branch is named siberian

• Platforms templates used to build/rebuild are installed from this directory, this ensure the platforms are synced & up-to-date everytime.

• Browser platforms/Browser

• Android platforms/Android

• iOS platforms/Ios

• Rebuilding a platform

  1. run siberian rebuild platformName where platformName is android | ios | browser

Note: Important

Siberian uses a Cordova fork for its applications base, we provide pre-built android & ios binaries for convenience as not everyone owns and can build using a Mac.

If you need to rebuild native source code for all platforms, you must have a Mac and Xcode with the Command-Line Tools installed.

Pre-built binaries allows you to customize all the HTML/JS/CSS Stack of the Apps without the need of a Mac.

Plugins

Every plugin used in the project is forked on GitHub, they are added as submodules in the folder plugins

A default branch named siberian is used to track and lock our modifications.

Modules

Our standalone modules are tracked into the folder modules every module has it's own git, and is versioned independantly of the Siberian Editions
