This is CUCWD's fork of https://github.com/edx/edx-platform
The master branch of this repository is meaningless - do not refer to it nor use it as a base branch for changes to edx-platform. Always use the edx/edx-platform master branch as a starting point, or whatever other branch is appropriate.
We push branches here that are used for pull requests against
the upstream edx-platform repository or other forks. Latest Open edX Release
is helpful to see how edX releases the platform releases. When deploying
releases to production we are using the version number tag release
(e.g. open-release/juniper.3) rather than staying with the open release
name main branch (e.g. open-release/juniper.master)
This fork also holds the cucwd branches for the edx-platform. Here
is a structure on how we perform Gitflow and Pull Request (PR). Wherever
it says name it should be replace with Open edX named release (e.g. juniper):
cu-release/name.master: changes from open-release/name.master branch + additional commits from cucwd. Not released to production instances to avoid confusion between multiple VMs in load balancer setup.cu-release/name.#: changes from open-release/name.# tag + additional commits from cucwd. This is released to production instances to avoid issue with load balancer setup of having every instance look the same.open-release/name.master: latest main branch of open named release. Start of cucwd development for this release. The develop.name branch is started from this release.open-release/name.#: latest versioned release tag of open named release. Not used for cucwd.develop.name: branched from open-release.name.master at start of release development; additional commits from feature.name/EW-###-name get committed here while in development.feature.name/EW-###-name: feature work in-progress. Push to remote origin-cucwd then make a PR to develop.release.develop.name is branched from open-release/name.master to start development.feature.name/EW-###-name is branched from develop.name to start feature development for named release. Branch is pushed to remote origin-cucwd and a PR is initiated going from this branch to develop.name. Changes are reviewed then merged.cu-release/name.master branch is created from develop.name and pushed up to remote origin-cucwd.open-release/name.# are removed from cu-release/name.master and a tag cu-release/name.# is created. This will be the release that gets put in production.
