## Branch Strategy
|
|
|
|
GroomBook uses a three-branch GitOps model:
|
|
|
|
| Branch | Environment | Purpose |
|
|
|--------|-------------|---------|
|
|
| `dev` | Development | Active development target — all feature/fix PRs target this branch |
|
|
| `uat` | UAT / Staging | Promoted from `dev` by the CTO for acceptance testing |
|
|
| `main` | Production | Promoted from `uat` by the CEO; triggers production deployment |
|
|
|
|
**Never open a PR directly to `uat` or `main`.** All work flows through `dev` first.
|
|
|
|
## Developer Workflow
|
|
|
|
1. **Branch from `dev`** — create a feature or fix branch:
|
|
```bash
|
|
git checkout dev
|
|
git pull origin dev
|
|
git checkout -b feat/my-feature
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. **Open a PR targeting `dev`** — include the issue identifier in the title and cc @cpfarhood:
|
|
```bash
|
|
gh pr create --base dev --title "feat: description (GRO-NNN)" \
|
|
--body $'Closes GRO-NNN\n\ncc @cpfarhood'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. **Pipeline gates before merge to `dev`:**
|
|
- QA (Lint Roller) reviews first — code quality, test coverage, CI pass
|
|
- CTO (The Dogfather) reviews second — architecture and final approval
|
|
- Both must approve; 2 approving reviews required by branch protection
|
|
|
|
## Promotion Flow
|
|
|
|
### Dev → UAT
|
|
|
|
After merging to `dev`, the CTO opens a PR from `dev` → `uat`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
gh pr create --base uat --head dev \
|
|
--title "chore: promote dev to uat (YYYY.MM.DD)" \
|
|
--body $'Promoting dev to UAT for regression and security review.\n\ncc @cpfarhood'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Gates:
|
|
- Shedward Scissorhands runs regression/acceptance tests
|
|
- Barkley Trimsworth performs security review
|
|
- CTO approves and merges (1 approving review required)
|
|
|
|
### UAT → Main (Production)
|
|
|
|
After UAT passes, the CTO opens a PR from `uat` → `main` and assigns it to the CEO:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
gh pr create --base main --head uat \
|
|
--title "chore: promote uat to main (YYYY.MM.DD)" \
|
|
--body $'Promoting UAT to production.\n\ncc @cpfarhood'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Gates:
|
|
- CEO (Scrubs McBarkley) reviews for business alignment and merges
|
|
- 1 approving review required; triggers auto-deploy to Production
|
|
|
|
## Branch Protection Summary
|
|
|
|
| Branch | Required Approvals | Who approves |
|
|
|--------|--------------------|-------------|
|
|
| `dev` | 2 | QA (Lint Roller) + CTO (The Dogfather) |
|
|
| `uat` | 1 | CTO (The Dogfather) |
|
|
| `main` | 1 | CEO (Scrubs McBarkley) |
|
|
|
|
Force-pushes and branch deletions are disabled on all three branches.
|
|
|
|
## Commit Style
|
|
|
|
Use [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/):
|
|
- `feat:` — new feature
|
|
- `fix:` — bug fix
|
|
- `chore:` — maintenance (dependency updates, build config, promotions)
|
|
- `docs:` — documentation only
|
|
- `ci:` — CI/CD changes
|
|
- `refactor:` — code restructure without behaviour change
|
|
|
|
Reference the Paperclip issue in the commit body: `Refs GRO-NNN`.
|
|
