Reviewing code

• Every PR must be approved by all the team in order to be merged
• Don't resolve a comment on your PR but only comment back (reply), and let the comment writer resolve it

Working on a task

1. Branch naming: branch names shall follow this style issueNumber-issue-description (e.g. 102-login-page)

2. Commiting changes:

   • any changes that are not related to the task (issue) or are not mentioned in it will not be accepted (if there is a bug that is making your task fail, open an issue for it and start working on fixing it)
   • commits must always be descriptive and with appropriate length (neither too long nor too short)
   • every and each commit must relate to the issue at the end

3. Use of labels and projects

   • once started working on a task
     • label the issue in progress and move it to the in progress column in its project
     • label the PR awaiting review if you need it to be reviewed
     • label the PR in progress if you still working on it
     • PRs must be labeled with changes requested once a change is requested
   • once finished working on a task and got approved
     • label the PR done before merging it
     • label the issue done and move it to the done column in its project
     • close the issue

4. closed issues and PRs

   • once a PR or an issue is closed it shall not be reopened
   • if there exists a bug related to a specific issue which was closed, another issue is to be opened and labeled bug
   • if there exists some critical bug that is causing the project to crash an issue with the labels bug, urgent, and priority is to be opened
