Understanding the Team Commit Process

The Angular Material team has a very specific process for change commits.

Our commit process is intentionally restrictive to support the rapid iterations and manage change complexity within Angular Material. Angular Material uses a "Pull Request" process to allow team leaders opportunities to maintain code reviews, ensure sanity checks, encourage coding standards, and provide feedbackto the developer.

General Rules

  • Please do not commit directly to master; unless explicitly authorized by the Team Leadership
  • Team developers should fork the repository and work on fixes, features, or enhancements on their own fork.
    • Use the Pull Request feature to submit your changes to the 'upstream' Angular Material repository
  • When a developer has changes ready for merging into master, those fixes or updates must be submitted via a Pull Request
  • All PRs must be rebased (with master) and commits squashed prior to the final merge process
  • Please NEVER use the green merge button on GitHub
    • Angular Material maintains a flat, linear change history using a specific manual merge process
    • Do not use Github's automated merge process
  • All PR source (component or core) changes should have accompanying unit tests
  • All PRs must have 100% Karma test scores

These process guidelines are especially important: our team membership is growing rapidly.

Commit Authorization Rules

The development team has defined three (3) Github levels of commit authorization within Angular/Material:

  • General :
    • Developers in this group includes any team members not listed under Core or Team Leads below
    • Must use Angular Materila Forked repositories for any and all changes (see above)
      • Please do not make or submit any changes from the master branch.
    • Are not authorized to merge PRs
    • Should not reassign issue or change issue milestones
    • Should ensure their issue labels are correct
    • Should ensure their issues are tested with latest HEAD versions of Angular Material
    • Should ensure their issues are tested with latest releases of Angular (1.3.x, 1.4.x, 1.5.x)
  • Core:
    • Includes: Ryan Schmukler, Robert Messerlee, Topher Fangio
    • Should not merge PRs (unless explicitly requested)
    • Should use Angular Material branches for major, non-trivial changes.
    • For minor changes, developers in this groupmay elect to commit direct to master for minor changes.
  • Team Leads:
    • Includes: Naomi Black, Thomas Burleson, Jeremy Elbourn
    • May review PRs
      • ThomasBurleson is the primary PR reviewer
      • Should perform confirm Karma test pass
      • Should squash as need
      • Should ensure the PR is closed when the merge finishes.
