Branching

The master branch is main. This branch should always build and be deployable at any time.

When starting a new component or feature, create a new branch for that component using the naming convention: feature\[Component Name].

To avoid having very large PR's, single tasks of building a new component should be branched from this feature branch and the PR made against this feature branch.

The separate task branches of a feature need not be complete, but should compile and build. The task branches should have a similar name to the feature branch: feature\[Component Name]\[Task name].

When the feature is complete, i.e. all the tasks are completed and the PRs have been merged back to the main feature branch, a PR of the feature branch should be created against main.
