Branching in dd-sdk-ios

Convention

Branch names follow: <author>/<JIRA-TICKET>/<descriptive-slug>

• <author>: your GitHub username or initials
• <JIRA-TICKET>: project shortname + ticket number (e.g. RUM-9999, FFL-123)
• <descriptive-slug>: short kebab-case description

Examples from the repo:

• maxep/RUM-14622/visionos-integration-test
• bplasovska/RUM-14563/lowercase-header-keys
• kelvin/RUM-13420/cache-ddtags

Branch Model

The repo follows git-flow: master is production, develop is the integration branch.

For a single PR, branch from develop:

git checkout -b <author>/<JIRA-TICKET>/<slug> develop

For large contributions split across multiple PRs, create a shared feature branch first, then branch each PR from it:

git checkout -b feature/<feature-slug> develop          # shared target branch
git checkout -b <author>/<JIRA-TICKET>/<slug> feature/<feature-slug>  # per-PR branch

Each per-PR branch targets feature/<feature-slug>. Only the final feature branch is merged into develop.

No JIRA Ticket?

For chores or external contributions without a ticket, use a descriptive slug only:

git checkout -b <author>/<slug> develop
