Creating branches in Github

[prasath nadarajah]

Hi devs,

I,m new to Joomla Platform and Github.

When contributing to the platform do i want to create a new branch for every single change.

I,m working on improving the existing JGithub packages and implementing new functions.

Do i want to create new branches for each function i create when making a pull request or just create a JGithub branch

and implement all the new functions and create a single pull request.

Iwonder how creating one single branch is hard to review for commit??

Hi

I use branches to hold each "idea" I'm trying to fix. If I was
improving the github package, I'd create just one branch called
"github" and do all my work in there. If I'm doing documentation, I
do that in a "docs" branch. If I'm fixing up code style, I would do
that in a "style" branch or similar. On the other hand, if I was
fixing bugs, I'd create a new branch for each bug (like a tracker bug)
I was fixing.

Does that help?

Is it possible to rename GitHub branch using web interface?
Till not I used option `fork and edit this file` and new branches were
named as patch-[n++], I get lost in them quickly

AFAIK, it's not possible to rename branches with the web interface. I personally name my branches semantically so I can remember what I was doing :)

Best,
