📋 Pull Request Description

🔀 Merge Strategy

This repository uses SQUASH MERGE as the standard merge strategy.

Why Squash Merge?

• ✅ Clean, linear commit history on main branch - easier to understand project evolution
• ✅ One commit per feature/fix - easier rollbacks and cherry-picking
• ✅ Better release notes - automated changelog generation from squashed commits
• ✅ Simplified CI/CD - cleaner git history for automated release processes
• ✅ Consistent with Dependabot - auto-merge configuration uses squash strategy
• ✅ Reduced noise - no "fix typo" or "address review comments" commits in main
• ✅ Easier bisecting - each commit represents a complete, logical change

How to Create a PR (Recommended):

# Create PR using a markdown file for detailed description
gh pr create --base develop --fill-first --body-file .github/pull_request_template.md

# Or for quick PRs with inline body:
gh pr create --base develop --title "feat: your feature title" --body "Description here"

# For promotion PRs (develop → main):
gh pr create --base main --head develop --title "chore: promote develop to main" --body-file PR_DESCRIPTION.md

How to Merge (Recommended):

# Via GitHub CLI (recommended - ensures squash merge):
gh pr merge <PR_NUMBER> --squash --delete-branch --body "Squash merge: <brief summary>"

# Via GitHub Web UI:
# 1. Click "Squash and merge" button (NOT "Merge pull request" or "Rebase and merge")
# 2. Edit the commit message if needed
# 3. Confirm the merge
# 4. Delete the branch

⚠️ CRITICAL: After squash merging to main, you MUST back-sync develop (see Post-Merge Back-Sync section below).

⚠️ Pre-Submission Checklist

Branch Sync Requirements:

• I have pulled the latest changes from main branch: git pull origin main
• I have pulled the latest changes from develop branch: git pull origin develop
• I have rebased my feature branch on the target branch (if applicable)
• My branch is up-to-date with no merge conflicts

Quick sync commands:

# Fetch all remote branches
git fetch --all

# Update local main branch
git checkout main
git pull origin main

# Update local develop branch
git checkout develop
git pull origin develop

# Return to your feature branch and rebase (if needed)
git checkout <your-feature-branch>
git rebase develop  # or 'main' depending on your target branch

Post-Merge Back-Sync (CRITICAL after squash merging to main):

⚠️ MANDATORY STEP - DO NOT SKIP THIS!

Why is this needed?
When you squash merge a PR from develop to main, the individual commits from develop are condensed into a single commit on main. This causes develop to appear "ahead" of main in git history, even though the code is identical. The back-sync merge resolves this divergence and prevents:

• ❌ Incorrect "X commits ahead" status on develop
• ❌ Merge conflicts on subsequent PRs
• ❌ CI/CD pipeline confusion
• ❌ Duplicate commits in future merges

When to perform back-sync:

• ✅ ALWAYS after merging a promotion PR (develop → main) with squash merge
• ✅ ALWAYS after merging any PR directly to main with squash merge
• ✅ IMMEDIATELY after the squash merge completes (don't wait!)
• ❌ NOT needed when merging feature branches to develop (develop will be promoted later)

How to perform back-sync:

# Step 1: Ensure your local branches are up-to-date
git fetch --all

# Step 2: Switch to develop and pull latest
git checkout develop
git pull origin develop

# Step 3: Merge main back into develop (creates a merge commit)
git merge main -m "chore: sync develop with main after squash merge"

# Step 4: Push the back-sync to remote
git push origin develop

# This ensures develop stays in sync with main after squash merges
# The merge commit preserves the development history in develop
# while keeping main's linear squashed history

Alternative (using GitHub CLI):

# Create a back-sync PR (for teams requiring PR workflow)
git checkout develop
git pull origin develop
git checkout -b chore/backsync-main-to-develop
git merge main -m "chore: sync develop with main after squash merge"
git push origin chore/backsync-main-to-develop
gh pr create --base develop --head chore/backsync-main-to-develop \
  --title "chore: back-sync main to develop after squash merge" \
  --body "Automatic back-sync after squash merging to main. This prevents 'ahead' status."
gh pr merge --merge --delete-branch  # Use regular merge, not squash!

Verification:

# After back-sync, these commands should show no differences:
git diff main..develop  # Should be empty (no code differences)
git log --oneline main..develop  # Should only show merge commits (no unique commits)

# Check branch status (should show "up to date"):
git checkout develop
git status
# Should NOT say "Your branch is ahead of 'origin/develop'"

Troubleshooting:

# If you forgot to back-sync and now have conflicts:
git checkout develop
git pull origin develop
git fetch origin main
git merge origin/main -m "chore: late back-sync after squash merge"
# Resolve any conflicts, then:
git push origin develop
