Settings

Visibility

Make your repository public.

Sprints

In this part, you will learn how to manage sprints.

A sprint is associated as a milestone.
A task is associated as an issue.

Workflow

The workflow to follow is:

  1. Create a milestone
  2. Create all the needed issues linked to this milestone
  3. Manage the pull requests linked with these issues using the GitHib project
  4. Resolve these issues
  5. Publish a release
  6. Close the milestone

Milestones

Each milestones must use the milestone template.

There are two parts :

  • Overall

    ⚠️ It's checklist must be completed before starting this sprint ⚠️

  • Final Report

    ⚠️ It's checklist must be completed before starting a new sprint ⚠️

Additional information is written in the milestones's checklists. Read them carefully!

Issues

Create all the required issues of a sprint before starting it. Once the sprint started, no issue linked to it should be create.

Each issue must be linked to a milestone and a GitHub project, have the right labels and be assigned to someone.

You can discuss in a issue, do it as much as you can!

Pull Requests

Each pull request must be linked to an issue and a GitHub project, have the right labels, be assigned to someone and have a reviewer.

You can discuss in a pull request, do it as much as you can!

GitHub project

No tasks (issue) must be created directly from the GitHub project. Create an issue using a template, it will automatically appears on the GitHub project. Don't forget to archive the tasks once the milestone is closed.

It is a powerful tool, use it well!

Releases

Each update on the main branch must be linked to a release.

Tag pull requests with the patch, minor or major labels.
