  • Default branch: develop. Click update
  • Add these rules for the two branches develop and main:
    • Require pull request reviews before merging
    • Require status checks to pass before merging (after you configured the CI add it to the required checks)
    • Always suggest updating pull request branches

• Autolink references

  • Add a new Autolink reference with:
    • Reference prefix: TICKET-
    • Target URL: https://redmine.renuo.ch/issues/<num>

Team

Each project has a team owning it. The team is named after the project: [team-name] = [project-name]. Thanks to this we can:

• see who is responsible for a project;

• assign issues to the right team;

• assign pull requests to the right team.

• Create a team with the name of the project and add all the developers working on it;

• Give to each team member the role "maintainer";

• Add the team to the repository with the "administrator" role;

• Add a CODEOWNERS file with the team name in it:

# .github/CODEOWNERS

* @renuo/[team-name]
