Syntax
devname
= first name of the developer
issuenumber
= the number of the issue that the branch is completing.
short-description
= a short, dash-separated description of the branch (shouldn't be more than ~40 characters)
Branch name formatting should be as follows:
-
If there is a relevant, single Issue that the branch will completely solve:
devname
/issuenumber
/short-description
e.g.logan/21/pull-out-base-class-functionality
-
If the branch wraps up multiple Issues or has no associated Issue:
devname
/short-description
e.g.logan/readme-updates
- If a PR directly closes one or more issues, those issues should be listed in
the description with one of the auto-closing prefixes as described
here.
e.g. "Closes #15: Refactored constants into a package with top-level classes."
