Setting up Dev Box (OSX/Linux)

Follow the same steps as home to use the repository Make sure you are on the dev branch

Version Control

  • Checkout your own branch from dev either for a feature or bugfix
  • Create a new branch on the browser/origin repo and name it feature/{example} or bugfix/{example} and then clone that branch locally. i.e.: after making a branch on the browser run the following commands in the terminal:

git pull origin dev

git checkout feature/{example}

  • Make your changes to the respective files
  • Create a pull request between the dev branch and the branch you are currently working on
  • Merge the pull request after you receive at least one approval for your commit, i.e. a comment on the pull request saying "LGTM" or Looks good to me
