Contributing - adventures-in/chat_app GitHub Wiki

• currently PRs should be on to test, with the build & deploy branches used via a GitHub app
• everyone is a collaborator on the project so can create branches and push to any branch (except test, build & deploy)
• we are using the Gitflow Workflow

1. Select or create an issue and assign yourself.
2. Branch off test with a relevant name, push your changes to the branch until you're ready to merge.
3. Create a PR onto test and (if not already present) add fixes #<issue_num> to the PR comment
4. Request a review
5. When a reviewer approves your PR
   1. Update your branch if needed, using the Update button in GitHub or merging test into your branch and resolving any conflicts then pushing it up.
   2. Merge your PR and delete the branch.

• please suggest changes in the form of a request rather than a command
  • also please be nice, see Code Review Etiquette - Medium
• when you approve, leave the PR author to merge
