This project was managed using the git workflow:
The team maintains one development branch that is fed by feature branches. Ready to deploy features undergo the following agile process:
- Feature branch is rebased to consolidate commit history and ensure only working code is pushed to the dev branch.
- Feature branch is pushed to project repo.
- A pull request is made with another dev tagged for review.
- Developer branch is merged in line with agile methodology.
- Ticket Tracking via Trello
