Default Branch is main

The default branch for all projects in CMPSC 156 is main.

Some older code bases created prior to the GitHub switch from master to main might still be using master; we’ll phase that out over time.

Feature Branches

For feature branches on teams, use the team name as the prefix for the branch, e.g. 5pm-a, 6pm-c, etc. followed by either a kebob-case or camelCase summary of what feature or bugfix is being implemented on the branch:

Examples:

5pm-a-search-by-course-name
5pm-a-search-by-ge
5pm-b-CreateMenuItemPersonalSchedule
5pm-b-backend-schedule
5pm-b-frontend-schedule-crud-operations
5pm-b-schedule-crud-operations
5pm-b-schedule-crud-operations-frontend
5pm-c-AvgClassSizeByDept
5pm-c-courseOccupancyByDivision
5pm-c-numFullCoursesByDept
5pm-d-AddBasicCoursesTable
5pm-d-AddCourseButton
5pm-d-AddSectionsDaysAndTimes

For branches created by the course staff (instructor, TAs, LAs) use staff- followed by the quarter as the prefix. Examples:

staff-f20-addArchivedCourseRepo
staff-f20-fixCodeCovBadgeInREADME
staff-f20-refactorBasicCourseSearch
