Key Principles
</h3> <div class="prose-spec"><p>Common-Flow is an attempt to gather a sensible selection of the most common
usage patterns of git into a single and concise specification. It is based on
the <a href="http://scottchacon.com/2011/08/31/github-flow.html">original variant</a>
of <a href="https://guides.github.com/introduction/flow/">GitHub Flow</a>, while taking
into account how a lot of open source projects use git.</p>
<p>TL;DR: Common-Flow is basically GitHub Flow with the addition of versioned
releases, maintenance releases for old versions, and without the requirement to
deploy to production all the time.</p></div> </div> <!-- Feedback & License --> <div class="pt-8 border-t border-gray-200 dark:border-neutral-800"> <div class="grid sm:grid-cols-2 gap-8"> <div> <h4 class="text-sm font-semibold uppercase tracking-wider mb-3

<li><strong>Master Branch</strong> - Must always have passing tests, is considered bleeding
edge, and must be named <code>master</code>.</li>
<li><strong>Change Branches</strong> - Any branch that introduces changes like a new feature, a
bug fix, etc.</li>
<li><strong>Source Branch</strong> - The branch that a change branch was created from. New
changes in the source branch should be incorporated into the change branch via
rebasing.</li>
<li><strong>Merge Target</strong> - A branch that is the intended merge target for a change
branch. Typically the merge target branch will be the same as the source
branch.</li>
<li><strong>Pull Request</strong> - A means of requesting that a change branch is merged in to
its merge target, allowing others to review, discuss and approve the changes.</li>
<li><strong>Release</strong> - Consists of a version bump commit, and a git tag named according
to the new version string placed on said commit.</li>
<li><strong>Release Branches</strong> - Used both for short-term preparations of a release, and
also for long-term maintenance of older version.</li>

<ol>
<li id="spec-the-master-branch">The Master Branch
<ol>
<li>A branch named "master" MUST exist and it MUST be referred to as the
"master branch".</li>
<li>The master branch MUST be considered bleeding edge.</li>
<li>The master branch MUST always be in a non-broken state with its test
suite passing.</li>
<li>The master branch SHOULD always be in a "as near as possibly ready for
release/production" state to reduce any friction with creating a new
release.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li id="spec-change-branches">Change Branches
<ol>
<li>Each change (feature, bugfix, etc.) MUST be performed on separate
branches that SHOULD be referred to as "change branches". All change
branches MUST have descriptive names. It is RECOMMENDED that you commit
often locally, and you SHOULD regularly push your work to the same named
branch on the remote server.</li>
<li>You MUST create separate change branches for each distinctly different
change. You MUST NOT include multiple unrelated changes into a single
change branch.</li>
<li>When a change branch is created, the branch that it is created from
SHOULD be referred to as the "source branch". Each change branch also
needs a designated "merge target" branch, typically this will be the same
as the source branch.</li>
<li>Change branches MUST be regularly updated with any changes from their
source branch. This MUST be done by rebasing the change branch on top of
the source branch.</li>
<li>After rebasing a change branch on top of its source branch you MUST push
the change branch to the remote server. This will require you to do a
force push, and you SHOULD use the "--force-with-lease" git push option.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li id="spec-pull-requests">Pull Requests
<ol>
<li>To merge a change branch into its merge target, you MUST open a "pull
request" (or equivalent) so others can review and approve your changes.</li>
<li>A pull request MUST only be merged when the change branch is up-to-date
with its source branch, the test suite is passing, and you and others are
happy with the change. This is especially important if the merge target
is the master branch.</li>
<li>To get feedback, help, or generally just discuss a change branch with
others, the RECOMMENDED way to do so is by creating a pull request and
discuss the changes with others there.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li id="spec-versioning">Versioning
<ol>
<li>The project MUST have its version hard-coded somewhere in the
code-base. It is RECOMMENDED that this is done in a file called "VERSION"
located in the root of the project.</li>
<li>If you are using a "VERSION" file in the root of the project, this MUST
only contain the exact version string.</li>
<li>The version string SHOULD follow the Semantic Versioning
(<a href="http://semver.org/">http://semver.org/</a>) format. Use of Semantic Versioning is OPTIONAL,
but the version string MUST NOT have a "v" prefix. For example "v2.11.4"
is bad, and "2.11.4" is good.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li id="spec-releases">Releases
<ol>
<li>To create a new release, you MUST create a "version bump" commit which
changes the hard-coded version string of the project. The version bump
commit MUST have a git tag created on it and named as the exact version
string.</li>
<li>If you are not using a release branch, then the version bump commit MUST
be created directly on the master branch.</li>
<li>The version bump commit MUST have a commit message title of "Bump version
to VERSION". For example, if the new version string is "2.11.4", the
first line of the commit message MUST read: "Bump version to 2.11.4"</li>
<li>The release tag on the version bump commit MUST be named exactly the same
as the version string. The tag name can OPTIONALLY be prefixed with
"v". For example the tag name can be either "2.11.4" or "v2.11.4". You
MUST not use a mix of "v" prefixed and non-prefixed tags. Pick one form
and stick to it.</li>
<li>It is RECOMMENDED that release tags are lightweight tags, but you can
OPTIONALLY use annotated tags if you want to include changelog
information in the release tag itself.</li>
<li>If you use annotated release tags, the first line of the annotation MUST
read "Release VERSION". For example for version "2.11.4" the first line
of the tag annotation would read "Release 2.11.4". The second line must
be blank, and the changelog MUST start on the third line.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li id="spec-release-branches">Release Branches
<ol>
<li>Any branch that has a name starting with "release-" SHOULD be referred to
as a "release branch".</li>
<li>Use of release branches is OPTIONAL.</li>
<li>Changes in a release branch SHOULD typically come from work being
done against the master branch. Meaning changes SHOULD only trickle
downwards from the master branch. If a change needs to trickle back up
into the master branch, that work should have happened against the master
branch in the first place. One exception to this is version bump commits.</li>
<li>There are two types of release branches; short-term, and long-term.</li>
<li>Short-Term Release Branches
<ol>
<li>Used for creating a specific versioned release.</li>
<li>A short-term release branch is RECOMMENDED if there is a lengthy
pre-release verification process to avoid a code freeze on the master
branch.</li>
<li>MUST have a name of "release-VERSION". For example for version
"2.11.4" the release branch name MUST be "release-2.11.4".</li>
<li>When using a short-term release branch, the version bump commit and
release tag MUST be made directly on the release branch itself.</li>
<li>Only very minor changes should be performed on a short-term release
branch directly. Any larger changes SHOULD be done in the master
branch, and SHOULD be pulled into the release branch by rebasing it
on top of the master branch the same way a change branch pulls in
updates from its source branch.</li>
<li>After the version bump commit and release tag have been created, the
release branch MUST be merged back into its source branch and then
deleted. Typically the source branch will be the master branch.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Long-Term Release Branches
<ol>
<li>Used for work on versions which are not currently part of the master
branch. Typically this is useful when you need to create a new
maintenance release for a older version.</li>
<li>The branch name MUST have a non-specific version number. For example
a long-term release branch for creating new 2.9.x releases would be
named "release-2.9".</li>
<li>To create a new release from a long-term release branch, you MUST
create a version bump commit and release tag directly on the release
branch.</li>
<li>A long-term release branch MUST be created from the relevant release
tag. For example if the master branch is on version 2.11.4 and there
is a security fix for all 2.9.x releases, the latest of which is
"2.9.7". Create a new branch called "release-2.9" off of the "2.9.7"
release tag. The security fix release will then end up being version
"2.9.8".</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li id="spec-bug-fixes-rollback">Bug Fixes &#x26; Rollback
<ol>
<li>You MUST NOT under any circumstances force push to the master branch.</li>
<li>If a change branch which has been merged into the master branch is found
to have a bug in it, the bug fix work MUST be done as a new separate
change branch and MUST follow the same workflow as any other change
branch.</li>
<li>If a change branch is wrongfully merged into master, or for any other
reason the merge must be undone, you MUST undo the merge by reverting the
merge commit itself. Effectively creating a new commit that reverses all
the relevant changes.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li id="spec-git-best-practices">Git Best Practices
<ol>
<li>All commit messages SHOULD follow the Commit Guidelines and format from
the official git
documentation:
<a href="https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Distributed-Git-Contributing-to-a-Project">https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Distributed-Git-Contributing-to-a-Project</a></li>
<li>You SHOULD never blindly commit all changes with "git commit -a". It is
RECOMMENDED you use "git add -i" to add individual changes to the staging
area so you are fully aware of what you are committing.</li>
<li>You SHOULD always use "--force-with-lease" when doing a force push. The
regular "--force" option is dangerous and destructive. More
information:
<a href="https://developer.atlassian.com/blog/2015/04/force-with-lease/">https://developer.atlassian.com/blog/2015/04/force-with-lease/</a></li>
<li>You SHOULD understand and be comfortable with
rebasing: <a href="https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Branching-Rebasing">https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Branching-Rebasing</a></li>
<li>It is RECOMMENDED that you always do "git pull --rebase" instead of "git
pull" to avoid unnecessary merge commits. You can make this the default
behavior of "git pull" with "git config --global pull.rebase true".</li>
<li>It is RECOMMENDED that all branches be merged using "git merge --no-ff".
This makes sure the reference to the original branch is kept in the
commits, allows one to revert a merge by reverting a single merge commit,
and creates a merge commit to mark the integration of the branch with
master.</li>
