Development workflow

Note: the repository has not yet been created

Everyone can access the main repository, however only a small group of administrators has write access. However, every user can fork a repository, this creates a copy where a single developer or a group of developers have full access.

The main repository has the following branches:

• production: the latest production code, in this branch we have release tags
• master: the latest stable release
• dev: the development branch

In addition to those main branches there can be feature branches where development happens detached from the main branches. A feature branch is based on the dev branch.

Creating a project fork

How to fork a project

Making local development copy

   git clone <project link>

Pull/Merge request

All updates to the main repository are made via merge requests (github refers to them as pull requests). A merge request requires the code update to be in a mergable branch in a development fork.
