Development Flow

Branch Strategy

As shown in the diagram below, the develop branch is branched off from the main branch, and feature branches (feature/xxx) are branched off from the develop branch for development. The main branch is the release branch, while the develop branch is for development.

The develop branch always maintains the latest merged code, so when performing hotfixes, branches are created from the develop branch for the necessary fixes.

Development Flow

Branch Naming

While there are no strict rules, the following naming conventions are recommended:

  • feature/xxx: (xxx represents the feature being added)
  • bugfix/xxx: (xxx represents the bug being fixed)
  • hotfix/xxx: (xxx represents the urgent fix)

Conventional Commits

The commit messages should preferably follow the Conventional Commits guidelines.

Commit Message Format

By using .gitmessage, a template for commit messages is provided. This template can be enabled locally for this project by configuring git config --local.

bash
git config --local commit.template .gitmessage

Once configured, running git commit will display the contents of .gitmessage in your editor (Vim by default).

bash
git commit
# Overview (Uncomment one of the following templates)
#feat:
# └  A new feature
#fix:
# └  A bug fix
#docs:
# └  Documentation only changes
#style:
# └  Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code
#    (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc)
#refactor:
# └  A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a featur
#test:
# └  Adding missing or correcting existing tests
#ci:
# └  Changes to our CI configuration files and scripts
#chore:
# └  Updating grunt tasks etc; no production code change

Select the appropriate template and uncomment it, then write your commit message.

bash
docs: Update README.md
# └  Documentation only changes

Correspondence between Commit Messages and Labels

When creating a PR to the main branch, labels are automatically assigned based on the commit messages. Below is the correspondence between prefixes and labels:

PrefixLabelDescription
feat:featureAdding a new feature
fix:bugfixBug fixes
docs:documentationDocumentation only changes
style:styleChanges that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc)
refactor:refactorCode changes that neither fix a bug nor add a feature
test:testAdding or correcting existing tests
ci:ciAdding or updating CI configuration and scripts
chore:choreMinor changes or maintenance tasks
