Code

Client work

Client project code is private, so there are no repositories to link.

How I use Git depends on the size of the team, but the goal is always the same: small changes, reviewed, and ready to ship. These are the three flows I use most.

git switch -c development main
git switch -c feature/login development
git commit -m "feat(login): add form validation"
git switch development
git merge --no-ff feature/login        # feature done
git branch -d feature/login
git switch main
git merge --no-ff development          # development done
git tag -a v1.0 -m "Release 1.0"
git push origin main development --follow-tags

git switch -c feature/b development
git commit -m "feat(search): add filters"
git push -u origin feature/b           # open a PR to development
# feature/a was merged first, so update the branch:
git fetch origin
git rebase origin/development         # fix the conflict, then:
git add . && git rebase --continue
git push --force-with-lease
# PR approved: merge into development, then ship
git switch main && git merge --no-ff development
git tag -a v1.0 -m "Release 1.0"

git switch -c feature/checkout development
git push -u origin feature/checkout    # PR: review + green CI required
git switch -c release/1.2 development  # stabilise: only fixes here
git commit -m "fix: rounding in totals"
git switch main && git merge --no-ff release/1.2
git tag -a v1.2 -m "Release 1.2"
git switch development && git merge --no-ff release/1.2
git switch -c hotfix/1.2.1 main        # urgent fix in production
git switch main && git merge --no-ff hotfix/1.2.1
git tag -a v1.2.1 -m "Hotfix 1.2.1"
git switch development && git merge --no-ff hotfix/1.2.1
