To contribute (workflow)

We are using the feature branch workflow (details here, or see the summary below)

1 - Sync with the remote

Make sure you're working with the latest version of the project

git checkout master
git fetch origin 
git reset --hard origin/master

2 - Create a new branch

Give your new branch a name referring to an issue (or maybe a group of similar issues)

git checkout -b new-feature

Regularly, you might want to get all the new code from your master (yeah, we forgot to rename it "main", sorry) branch, to work with an up-to-date codebase:

git pull --rebase origin master

3 - Code

🔥🧑‍💻🐛🔥............✅

4 - Save your changes to your new branch

For a refresher, see details about add, commit, push, etc. here

It should involve creating a corresponding feature branch on the remote repository

git push -u origin branch-name-that-describes-the-new-feature

5 - Create a Pull Request

On the repository's main page, or on your new branch's master page, look for a New Pull Request button.

It should then allow you to merge into: ...:master and pull from: ...:new-feature

Follow the platform's instructions, until you've made a "work in progress" (WIP) pull request. You can now assign reviewers among your colleagues. They will get familiar with your new code -- and will either accept the branch as it is, or help you arrange it.
