The Bifurc name and logo cannot be used for modified builds or for any distribution of the software.

Contribute

Bifurc is maintained by one person, so reviews can take a while and some pull requests are declined to keep the scope small. Open an issue before anything bigger than a bug fix. A contributor license agreement is required; a bot asks you on your first pull request. See CONTRIBUTING.md.

Support Bifurc

Bifurc is free. If it saves you time, you can support its development on Ko-fi or GitHub Sponsors, or star the repository.
