Any changes should be proposed as PRs. Anything added to `master` is automatically deployed using a combination of Travis CI and GitHub Pages.
## You're saying you are portable - why won't b3bp code run in dash / busybox / posh / ksh / mksh / zsh?
When we say _portable_, we mean across Bash versions. Bash is widespread and most systems
offer at least version 3 of it. Make sure you have that available, and b3bp will work for you.
We run automated tests to make sure that it will, here's proof for the following platforms:
- [Linux](https://travis-ci.org/kvz/bash3boilerplate/jobs/109804166#L91) `GNU bash, version 4.2.25(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)`
- [OSX](https://travis-ci.org/kvz/bash3boilerplate/jobs/109804167#L2453) `GNU bash, version 3.2.51(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin13)`
This portability however does not mean we try to be compatible with
KornShell, Zsh, posh, yash, dash or other shells. We allow syntax that would explode if
you pasted it in anything but Bash 3 and up.
