Development Practices

• Code development will be performed in a forked copy of the repo. Commits will not be made directly to the repo. Developers will submit a pull request that is then merged by another team member, if another team member is available.
• Each pull request should contain only related modifications to a feature or bug fix.
• Sensitive information (secret keys, usernames etc.) and configuration data (e.g. database host port) should not be checked in to the repo.
• A practice of rebasing with the main repo should be used rather than merge commits.

Versioning

We use SemVer for versioning. For the versions available, see the releases or tags for this repository.

Refactor Makefile

The Makefile for this project not longer works within this new git structure. It needs to package a new License and used the git tags.

Pull version from git in Makefile

Instead of hardcoding the product version in the Makefile, we should pull version from git tags.

$ git describe --tags
2015.10.00

The suggested change VERSION from a harded coded tag to the following

# A simple makefile for creating the SolventCrossflowHX distribution package
VERSION    := `git describe --tags`
PRODUCT    := Solvent Crossflow Heat Exchanger Calculator
PROD_SNAME := SolventCrossflowHX
