[Bioc-devel] files present in github repository

A reasonable strategy is to create a branch ('master' for submission) that contains just the package source; use another branch for additional functionality.

After submission, your package is cloned to the git.bioconductor.org repository and you could maintain it from an arbitrary branch in your repository, so your github 'master' could again contain arbitrary files (branches are easily renamed in git).

    Hi to all,
    My team is just about to submit a new package to Bioconductor and we  have
    a question about the files included in the github repository: According to
    Bioconductor Guidelines for package submission, the repo should not contain
    unnecessary files other than the required for package installation.
    However, we have two files in our repo that are not strictly part of the
    package:

    codecov.yml
    .travis.yml

    These files are essential for our continuous integration process. I want to
    know if we should remove them before submitting to Bio, or is it ok if we
    left them?.

    Best
