Git Workflow

We use a GitFlow-inspired workflow:

• main - Production-ready code, deployed to staging automatically
• develop - Development branch, deployed to dev environment automatically
• feature/* - Feature branches, create PR to develop
• hotfix/* - Hotfix branches, create PR to main
• release/* - Release branches for production deployment

Branch Protection Rules

• main: Requires PR review, all checks must pass
• develop: Requires PR review, all checks must pass

Deployment Environments

Environment	Branch	Domain	Auto-Deploy
Development	develop	2048-dev.wa.darknex.us	✅
Staging	main	2048-staging.wa.darknex.us	✅
Production	tags	2048.wa.darknex.us	Manual

Making Changes

For New Features

1. Create a feature branch from develop:

   git checkout develop
   git pull origin develop
   git checkout -b feature/your-feature-name
   

2. Make your changes and commit:

   git add .
   git commit -m "feat: add your feature description"
   

3. Push and create a PR to develop:

   git push origin feature/your-feature-name
   

For Bug Fixes

1. Create a hotfix branch from main:

   git checkout main
   git pull origin main
   git checkout -b hotfix/fix-description
   

2. Make your changes and create PR to main

Commit Convention

We use Conventional Commits:

• feat: - New features
• fix: - Bug fixes
• docs: - Documentation changes
• style: - Code style changes (formatting, etc.)
• refactor: - Code refactoring
• test: - Adding or updating tests
• chore: - Maintenance tasks

Testing

Local Testing

# Test the game locally
npm start
open http://localhost:8080

Kubernetes Testing

kubectl apply -f manifests/dev/

# Check deployment status
kubectl get ksvc -n game-2048-dev

# Test the deployed service
curl -f https://2048-dev.wa.darknex.us/

Code Style

• Use 2 spaces for indentation
• Use meaningful variable and function names
• Add comments for complex logic
• Keep functions small and focused

1. Title: Use conventional commit format
2. Description:
   • What changes were made?
   • Why were they made?
   • How to test the changes?
3. Testing: Ensure all environments work correctly
4. Documentation: Update README if needed

Release Process

1. Create a release branch from main:

   git checkout main
   git pull origin main
   git checkout -b release/v1.1.0
   

2. Update version in package.json

3. Create PR to main

4. After merge, create a GitHub release with tag
