Development process

Step 5: Release!

After your PR has been reviewed and approved, one of the project maintainers will merge it into the main project. Congratulations! Merging does not need to happen by the Game creator and can happen from a fellow colleague. You've successfully contributed to the Tribe of the Accord video game.

Why are there so many steps?

Having many checklist items ticked before marking a PR as ready is important for several reasons:

• Ensures Quality: It verifies that the submission meets the project's quality standards, reducing the likelihood of introducing bugs or regressions.
• Facilitates Review: A PR that adheres to guidelines and passes all checks can be reviewed more efficiently, speeding up the integration process.
• Reduces Revisions: Completing the checklist minimizes the need for back-and-forth revisions, leading to a smoother development workflow.
• Maintains Stability: Ensuring tests pass and conflicts are resolved maintains the stability of the main branch, preventing disruptions for other contributors.
• Improves Documentation: Updated documentation helps maintain clarity about features and changes, aiding future development efforts.
• Enhances Collaboration: A thorough checklist encourages best practices, enhancing collaboration and knowledge sharing within the team.
