Version Control and Code Review#

#GitFlow Workflow

Version control will use the GitFlow branching model, consisting of main, develop, feature, release, and hotfix branches.

• main: Production-ready code. Only release and hotfix branches are merged into main.
• develop: Integration branch for upcoming features.
• feature/*: Branches for new features, branched off develop.
• release/*: Branches for preparing new production releases, branched off develop.
• hotfix/*: Branches for urgent production bug fixes, branched off main.

#Pull Requests/Merge Requests

All code changes (except direct pushes to feature branches) must be submitted via pull requests.

#Code Review

• Each pull request must be reviewed by at least one other developer.
• Reviewers are responsible for checking compliance with these coding standards, code quality, logical correctness, and test coverage.
• IntelliJ IDEA's integrated code analysis tools should be run locally before creating a PR.

#Commit Messages

Write clear, concise, and descriptive commit messages that explain what was changed and why. If possible, follow the Conventional Commits format (e.g., feat: add user registration endpoint).
