Development Workflow

Development Workflow

main contains stable releases and develop is the integration branch. Create short-lived feature/*, fix/*, docs/*, or ci/* branches from develop, use Conventional Commits, and submit focused pull requests back to develop. Release preparation flows from develop to main through a pull request.

Definition of done

A change includes its implementation and tests, passes formatting, linting, typing, unit and relevant integration checks, and updates public schema, examples, and documentation when behavior changes. Meaningful bug fixes include regression tests where practical.

Recommended branch protection

Configure both main and develop in GitHub with:

• direct pushes disabled;
• pull requests required;
• CI checks required;
• branches required to be up to date before merge.

Repository permissions remain an administrator concern and are not managed by the CanOpenGen application.
