Git Workflow

Main Development

Developers should aim to stay close to the latest version of the development branch. Small fixes and tweaks are appropriate as small commits that are made directly to the develop branch. Anything sizeable should be a focused (affecting only relevant files to avoid conflicts) and well named feature branch that is properly merged back and deleted upon completion.

Continuous Integration off Master

Production for this application is a Heroku LAMP dynamo that is configured to watch for changes to the master branch. Upon merging develop into master or pushing to master, it will build the latest version of the app and re-host automatically. This automatic update will take a moment because build/dist artifacts are not committed, the dynamo is configured to install node dependencies, install bower dependencies, and compile the app dist for hosting.
