Git Guidelines

Follow these conventions when naming branches and writing commit messages.

Branch Naming Convention

Category

A Git branch should start with a category. Pick one of these:

• feature — adding, refactoring, or removing a feature
• bugfix — fixing a bug
• hotfix — changing code with a temporary solution and/or without following the usual process (usually because of an emergency)
• test — experimenting outside of an issue/ticket

Reference

After the category, add a / followed by the reference of the issue/ticket you are working on.
