Repository Enhancements and Management #46

Closed VorTechnix closed 3 years ago

VorTechnix commented 3 years ago

I had a few ideas about how to keep the repository and development streamlined going forward.

Labels

I would like to propose 3 new labels for issues:

Branches

As previously stated I will open my own development branch for continued contributions. I would like to go further though and propose a general management system:

  1. The master branch should be the primary and default branch. I understand some of the reasons you decided to change it but having also changed it on other repos I manage I know from experience that it usually just leads to confusion and mix ups.
  2. We should have a testing branch that all of our changes and any pull requests from contributor's forks get staged in until we are ready to release the next version. Some people create a new branch for every version but I think that's too much work and sticking with one permanent testing/staging branch gives people the opportunity to get "nightly build" style updates through github desktop.

Those labels look cool, but the pace of WorldEditAdditions is not rushed. I'm in no hurry to work on and merge issues - I follow my inspiration. To this end, I'd prefer to avoid adding those new labels, as I feel they would support a more rushed development process.

Branches

  1. master is now main in this repository. This is part of a move across the git ecosystem to migrate from potentially offensive words. See this news article for more information. There's still a default branch - I've just updated it to follow the new standard.
  2. This would indeed help, but for those who want a stable version of the mod should checkout a release or use ContentDB, not checkout directly from main. I'll update the README to reflect this.
VorTechnix commented 3 years ago

Ok so you're going to still be directly developing on main then?

sbrl commented 3 years ago

Yeah, currently that's the way I have been doing things.

It looks like this discussion has been resolved so I'm going to close this issue for now, but I can always re-open if there's more to discuss.
