Development Workflow

Starting work

1. Make sure GitHub issue exists
2. Create issue branch

• naming convention: [ISSUE NUMBER]_[ABBREVIATED NAME] (e.g. 528_short_term_cart_fix)
• to create remote branch with tracking run the following: git push origin master:refs/heads/1234_branch_name

3. get coding :-)

While working

• Write RSpec tests for significant functionality (see TDD LINK HERE)
• Update factories if necessary
• Commit often, write short but descriptive commit messages
• Update the GitHub issue with longer comments

Pull Request

1. Ensure all tests pass
2. Ensure your changes didn't break untested behavior (i.e. seed script in db/seeds.rb)
3. [TODO] check code quality (e.g. Rubocop)
4. Update Changelog (see Changelog Guidelines)
5. Issue pull request

• while possible, convert issue to pull request using Hub
