Setting up git

1. Install git from their official website: git-scm.com/downloads
2. If you haven't already, create a new GitHub user: github.com/signup
3. Set up your name and email address in git (they will be used for commits and pull requests):

$ git config --global user.name "Your Name"
$ git config --global user.email "Your Email"

Issue workflow

If you have been assigned an issue, you have to use the following workflow:

1. Create a branch for your issue. Prefix the branch name with issue/ and the issue number.
   For example if you have an issue with number 123, the branch name will be issue/123.
   The base for your branch depends on the issue type:

2. Do your commits on this branch and push then regularly. Fix any issues that come up in the CI pipeline.

3. Open a pull request on GitHub, from your issue branch into the develop branch.

4. Once the PR is reviewed, merge it. The issue should then be closed.

5. Afterwards, a new version can be published

An example of how your development might look like:

graph LR
  subgraph develop
    a((A))-->b((B))-->c((C))-->d((D))-->e((E))
  end
  subgraph issue/123
    x((X))-->y((Y))
  end
  b==new branch==>x
  y==merge==>d

Version management

When a pull request is merged into branch release/1.3, the tag 1.3.25 must be created. Subsequently, the branch release/1.3 must be merged into develop.

graph LR
  subgraph develop ["develop (future 1.4.x)"]
    developA((A))-->developB((B))-->developC((C))-->developD((D))-->developE((E))
  end
  subgraph release/1.3 ["release/1.3 (all 1.3.x)"]
    release-13A((H))-->release-13B((I))-->release-13C((J))-->release-13D((K))
  end
  release-13C--merge-->developD
  subgraph bugfix-13 ["bugfix for 1.3"]
    bugfix-13A((L))-->bugfix-13B((M))
  end
  release-13B-->bugfix-13A
  bugfix-13B--merge-->release-13C
  subgraph feature-14 ["feature (future 1.4.x)"]
    feature-14A((F))-->feature-14B((G))
  end
  developB-->feature-14A
  feature-14B--merge-->developC
