There are 2 default branches, one for each environment; development
for the development environment and main for the production environment.
The development branch is for testing our code. Here is where every newly developed feature is merged into as per default when creating a pull requests. This is also where we would discover if any new features were to introduce unforeseen bugs. It is also the branch that every new feature should branch out of.
The main branch is our production environment. This is our ”live” code and is what the current state of our product looks like. This is also to define what is ready to use for our users. Whenever a new feature is to be initiated, this should happen in a new branch. This new branch should be named after the new feature. Following this naming convention allows other developers to keep a track of what each branch is for.
A centralized workflow is to be used for this project.
There must be at least 1 approved review for each pull request. The reviewer must not have contributed to the pull request. Once the pull request has been approved, the branch gets merged into the development branch
