Branches

We have following branch in our repository:
  • main
Whenever any contributor works on the project, we want to ensure that they are working for an open issue item. Hence, the contributor will create a branch named as issue-<issue-number>. E.g: issue-1 branch will be created if the GitHub issue number the contributor is working on is 1.

​
Protecting main branch

We have following steps to protect the main branch:
  • Any merge required to be made in main branch, will need a PR to be created from issue-<issue-number> branch.
  • PR will required approval from any one member of boyka-core team. So make sure to add the boyka-core team as the reviewer of the PR.
  • All the commits in the PR should be GPG signed.
  • All PR checks should be green.
  • All open review conversations should be resolved.

​
Exceptions to the above

Members of boyka-core team can bypass any of the above mentioned branch protection rules.
