Create your branch, containing your modifications

To use DAVAÏ to test your contribution to the next development release, you need to have your code in a Git branch starting from the latest official release (e.g. CY48T1 tag for contributions to 48T2, or CY49 tag for contributions to 49T1).

In the following the example is taken on a contribution to 48T2:

1. In your repository (e.g. ~/repositories/arpifs – make sure it is clean with git status beforehand), create your branch:

   git checkout -b <my_branch> [<starting_reference>]

   Example

   git checkout -b mary_CY48T1_cleaning CY48T1

   Note

   It is strongly recommended to have explicit branch names with regards to their origin and their owner, hence the legacy branch naming syntax <user>_<CYCLE>_<purpose_of_the_branch>

2. Implement your developments in the branch. It is recommended to find a compromise between a whole development in only one commit, and a large number of very small commits (e.g. one by changed file). In case you then face compilation or runtime issues then, but only if you haven't pushed it yet, you can amend^[1] the latest commit to avoid a whole series of commits just for debugging purpose.

   Note

   DAVAÏ is currently able to include non-committed changes in the compilation and testing. However, in the next version based on bundle, this might not be possible anymore.
