I have a situation where I have scripts pushing changes to a github repository on feature branches. What settings should I use to make the process as smooth as possible?
To ensure a smooth process for scripts pushing changes to a GitHub repository on feature branches, consider the following settings and best practices:
-
Branch Protection Rules:
- Enable branch protection rules to prevent direct pushes to the main branch. This ensures that all changes go through a pull request (PR) process.
- Require status checks to pass before merging. This can include automated tests or other CI/CD checks.
-
Commit Messages:
- Use meaningful and descriptive commit messages. This helps in understanding the changes and tracking the history of the project¹(https://dev.to/keshav___dev/best-practices-while-pushing-code-to-github-5a7e).
