Versioning
Follow semantic versioning http://semver.org/ as package.json won't work otherwise. That's it:
X.X.0for mayor versionsX.X.Xfor minor versionsX.X[.X||.0]-rc.1for release candidatesX.X[.X||.0]-beta.1for betas
Workflow
Do not commit on master branch (if you are on a forked repo, no need to worry). dev is the code
that accumulates all the code for the next version.
- Create a new branch from
devbranch:git checkout -b branch-name origin/dev. Try to give it a descriptive name. For example:release/X.X.Xfor next releasesnew/some-featurefor new featuresenhance/some-enhancementfor enhancementsfix/some-bugfor bug fixing
- Make your commits and push the new branch:
git push -u origin branch-name - File the new Pull Request against
devbranch - Once the PR is approved it will be merged to the
devbranch.
If you are sending pull requests from your forked repo, follow the same steps.
