Name your development branches is key in structuring your work and submitting clean pull requests.

Don't name your branches

  • my-work
  • enhancements
  • some-bugfix

Instead, use something like;

  • cli-add-dual-stack
  • backend-add-ipv8
  • 1337-web-fix-css
  • 123-fix-cli-traceback

Where 1337 and 123 are references to issues here on GitHub.

If you want, you can structure your branches within "namespaces";

  • cli/123-fix-traceback
  • web/1337-fix-css
