Contributing Guidelines

Branch Policy

• Base Branch: dev. All development must be based on the dev branch.

• Please create a separate feature-branch from dev, commit your changes to it, and then open a Pull Request into dev.

  Example:

  git checkout dev
  git checkout -b feature/your-change
  # ... make your changes and commit them
  git push origin feature/your-change

Pull Request Rules

• Required Reviewers: PRs require review from at least one Core Reviewer before merging.
• Merge Cadence: Changes from dev are merged to main weekly by the mentor.
• Commit Messages: Follow standard semantic commit messages (e.g. feat:, chore:, fix:, docs:, refactor:).
• Merge Rules: Use Squash and Merge when merging feature branches to keep the history clean.
