Workflow#

  1. Create a new branch with a name reflecting your intended feature/improvement.

  2. Once your changes are finalized from your end, request to merge your new branch into the development branch.

  3. Your edits will be reviewed by a development team member and merged upon their approval.

  4. After a successful test, the updated development branch is automatically merged into master.

  5. Releases are manually created from the master branch and constitute the release branch.
