Development Workflow

Branch Strategy

• feat-*: Feature branches for new features and improvements
• develop: Integration branch for feature branches
• main: Release branch

Pull Request Process

1. Create a new feature branch from develop:

git checkout develop
git pull origin develop
git checkout -b feat-your-feature-name

2. Make your changes and create a PR to develop
3. After PR is merged to develop, it will be included in the next release PR
4. Release PRs are automatically created from develop to main using git-pr-release

Protected Branches

• develop: Requires PR review and successful status checks
• main: Protected release branch, only accepts PRs from develop
