Workflow Patterns

1. Feature Branch Workflow

    Feature --> PR[Pull Request]
    PR --> Review[Code Review]
    Review --> Merge[Merge to main]
    Merge --> Publish[Auto-publish]

Steps:

  1. Create feature branch
  2. Develop and test
  3. Create pull request
  4. Code review
  5. Merge to main
  6. Auto-publish on tag

2. Release Branch Workflow

    Develop[develop] --> Release[release/1.2.0]
    Release --> Test[QA Testing]
    Test --> Main[main]
    Main --> Tag[v1.2.0]
    Tag --> Publish[Publish]

  • CHANGELOG updates
  • Migration guides

3. Testing

# CI pipeline
- Unit tests
- Integration tests

  • Documentation updated
  • CHANGELOG updated
  • Breaking changes noted
  • Version incremented

5. Communication
