Git Workflow
Branching
- Master is the trunk and MUST always be in a "ready to release" state
- Use feature branches for development work
- Naming:
VIM-XXXX/short-description(e.g.,VIM-3948/editor) - Rebase to master frequently to avoid large conflicts
- Small, isolated changes (bug fixes, minor tweaks) MAY go directly to master
- Unfinished changes MAY be committed to master only if they do NOT break functionality
- Use rebase for integration, not merge commits (linear history)
Commits
Standard format:
VIM-XXXX Description of the change- Start with the YouTrack ticket ID when the change relates to a ticket
- Example:
VIM-3948 Traverse vertical panes in ConfigurableEditor
Auto-closing format (moves YouTrack ticket to "Ready To Release"):
fix(VIM-XXXX): Description of the fixContent rules:
- Each commit MUST contain a single, focused, meaningful change
- MUST NOT include unrelated changes (formatting, unrelated refactoring)
- Include appropriate tests with behavioral changes
Pull Requests
- PRs target
master - CI runs standard tests automatically (
./gradlew test -x :tests:property-tests:test -x :tests:long-running-tests:test) - PRs from external contributors are listed in the changelog under "Merged PRs"
Issue Tracking
- Use YouTrack (not GitHub Issues) - tickets are
VIM-XXXX - URL: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/VIM
