This is the workflow you should adopt for a typical feature.

• Get the latest version of master

git pull origin master

• Create your own feature branch, prefixed by your initials. Branches should be scoped to one feature and short-lived.

git checkout -b jd-feature

• Discuss the feature with another developer, they should eventually review your code.

• Do some work

• Push to a remote branch, rebasing beforehand if you have redundant commits which should be squashed

• Create a Pull Request

• Ask/assign another developer to review the code. You should talk with them about the pull request whenever possible.

• Reply to comments and make amends

• The reviewer should merge into master once they give the request a :+1

• Delete your feature branch
