Developerhowtogit

In the development of Ontop project, we follow the git-workflow:

A few points:

• Names of the branches:

  • feature branches: feature/featurename
  • bug fix branches: bugfix/bugname.
    • If there a corresponding GitHub page, use name bugfix/bugname-issue-number or bugfix/issue-number

• Use --no-ff option for merging, especially for merging the the feature or bugfix branches to develop

The --no-ff flag causes the merge to always create a new commit object, even if the merge could be performed with a fast-forward. This avoids losing information about the historical existence of a feature branch and groups together all commits that together added the feature.
