Development

To improve the cleanliness of the code base and the usefulness of commit history, please use a separate branch for each new feature, and squash all commits in development branch before merging into the master branch.

Note: If changes made by you would significantly affect other people's work, please notify them first and send merge request for review before merging into the master branch.

Sample workflow:

• 1 . Assume you are in the master branch, create a new branch for development: git checkout -b <development branch name>

• 2 . You can perform arbitrary number of git commit, git pull, git merge, ... in developemnt branch to test out your feature.

• 3 . When you are satisfied with current development and ready to merge back to master branch, sync local master branch with remote master branch first, before sync current branch with master:

  • git checkout master
  • git pull origin master
  • git checkout <development branch name>
  • git merge master

• 4 . Resolve merge conflicts if there are any.

• 5 . Go back to master branch and Squash git commits to ensure cleaness of git history:

  • git checkout master
  • git merge --squash <development branch name>

• 6 . Commit: git commit -a -m "<description of the main purpose of development branch>"

• 7 . Synchronize remote git repo: git push origin master
