| description | Use when creating a new branch in dd-sdk-ios for a JIRA ticket or feature. Use when choosing a branch name or base branch for development work. |
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 descriptionExamples from the repo:
maxep/RUM-14622/visionos-integration-testbplasovska/RUM-14563/lowercase-header-keyskelvin/RUM-13420/cache-ddtagsThe 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.
For chores or external contributions without a ticket, use a descriptive slug only:
git checkout -b <author>/<slug> develop

Use when adding, removing, moving, or renaming Swift source files in the dd-sdk-ios Xcode project.
