Branch Naming

Branches should be created when a certain bug or feature may take multiple attempts to fix. Naming them should follow the following convention (even for forked repositories when a pull request is being made):

  • For features, use: impl-<feature name>
  • For bug fixes, use: bug-<bug tracker ID>
  • For improvements/rewrites, use: improv-<feature name>
  • For prototyping, use: proto-<feature name>

Pull Requests

We ask that submitted Pull Requests give moderately detailed notes about the changes and explain any changes that were made to the program outside of those directly related to the feature/bug-fix. Make sure to run all tests and formatting otherwise we cannot accept your pull request.

Note: We will also re-run all tests before reviewing, this is to mitigate additional changes/commits needed to pass all tests.

Once a Pull Request is submitted, we will mark the request for review, once that is done, we will review the changes and provide any notes/things to change. Once all additional changes have been made, we will merge the request.
