Developing

Contributing to the codebase is done via pull requests, this lets us test and work on the feature while it is being developed

Create a feature branch

$ git remote add castis git@github.com:castis/seaforium.git
$ git branch -m feature

Code Stuff ...

$ git stash
$ git pull --rebase castis master
$ git stash apply
$ git commit -m "A nice commit message"

Ensure you have the up to date code before submitting, try to avoid merge commits

$ ./yayclient test

The test suite must pass before any code is merged, if you are coding a new feature or fixing a bug in the server then you should make a test to verify your feature / fix works.

$ git push origin feature
