Git Flow Workflow Guide

Introduction

If your collaborators want to work with the Git Flow workflow in the same repository, they should follow these steps.

Steps to Follow

1. Clone the Repository

Each collaborator should start by cloning the repository to their local machine using the following command:

git clone <repository_URL>

Replace <repository_URL> with the URL of the repository on GitHub.

2. Install Git Flow (if not already installed)

If Git Flow is not already installed on their machine, they should install it. They can follow the installation instructions provided by the Git Flow documentation for their operating system.

3. Initialize Git Flow

Inside the cloned repository, each collaborator should initialize Git Flow using the following command:

git flow init

This sets up Git Flow for the repository and prompts them to specify the branch names for development, production, etc.

4. Fetch and Pull Changes

Before starting any work, collaborators should ensure that they have the latest changes from the remote repository. They can do this by running:

git fetch origin 
git pull origin develop

This fetches the latest changes from the remote repository and updates their local develop branch.

5. Start Working on a Feature/Release/Hotfix

Collaborators can start working on a new feature, release, or hotfix by using the respective Git Flow commands:

git flow feature start
git flow release start
git flow hotfix start

6. Work, Stage, and Commit Changes

Collaborators should make changes to the codebase related to the feature, release, or hotfix they are working on. They should stage and commit their changes as usual using Git.

7. Finish the Feature/Release/Hotfix

When the work is completed, collaborators can finish the feature, release, or hotfix using the respective Git Flow commands:

git flow feature finish
git flow release finish
git flow hotfix finish

8. Push Changes to Remote Repository

After finishing the feature, release, or hotfix, collaborators should push their changes to the remote repository using:

git push

If they created a new tag, they should also push the tags using:

git push origin --tags

By following these steps, your collaborators can work with the Git Flow workflow in the same repository, ensuring a consistent and organized development process.

Performing Selenium Grid Tests

To perform Selenium Grid tests, follow these steps:

Setting Up Selenium Grid (Standalone Server):

Navigate to the location where the latest Selenium Grid is located:
```
cd C:\Users\ASUS\Downloads
```

Start the Selenium Grid standalone server:

java -jar selenium-server-4.19.1.jar standalone

Configuring Grid Nodes:

Open another command prompt window and navigate to the location where the latest Selenium Grid is located:
```
cd C:\Users\ASUS\Downloads
```

Start the Selenium Grid node:

java -jar selenium-server-4.19.1.jar node

Open a web browser and navigate to the address: http://localhost:4444/.

Running Grid Tests:

Navigate to the folder of your project:
```
cd tests
```
Navigate to the grid subfolder:
```
cd grid
```
Execute the command to run the grid tests:
```
node runGridTests.js
```

Updating Selenium Grid:

If it is necessary to update a version of Selenium Grid, follow these steps:

Download the latest version of Selenium Grid from the official website.
Replace the existing Selenium Grid files in the project folder with the new version.
Repeat the steps for setting up Selenium Grid and configuring grid nodes as mentioned above.

These steps should help you set up and run Selenium Grid tests successfully.
Make sure to replace C:\Users\ASUS\Downloads with the actual location of your Selenium Grid files.
