Before starting development make sure you read and understand everything in this README.

Also, don't forget to document your code properly.

Working with Git

Clone the plugin repo and checkout the dev branch

# git clone [email protected]:Joel-James/404-to-301.git
# git fetch && git checkout dev

Installing dependencies and initial configuration

Install Node

# curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash -
# sudo apt-get install -y nodejs build-essential

Install the necessary npm modules and packages

# npm install

After that for the first time, run below command to create updated assets.

# npm run compile

Set up username and email for Git commits

# git config user.email "<your email>"
# git config user.name "<your name>"

Build tasks (npm)

Everything (except unit tests) should be handled by npm. Note that you don't need to interact with Grunt in a direct way.

Versioning

Follow semantic versioning http://semver.org/ as package.json won't work otherwise. That's it:

• X.X.0 for mayor versions
• X.X.X for minor versions
• X.X[.X||.0]-rc.1 for release candidates
• X.X[.X||.0]-beta.1 for betas

Workflow

Do not commit on master branch (if you are on a forked repo, no need to worry). dev is the code that accumulates all the code for the next version.

• Create a new branch from dev branch: git checkout -b branch-name origin/dev. Try to give it a descriptive name. For example:
  • release/X.X.X for next releases
  • new/some-feature for new features
  • enhance/some-enhancement for enhancements
  • fix/some-bug for bug fixing
• Make your commits and push the new branch: git push -u origin branch-name
• File the new Pull Request against dev branch
• Once the PR is approved it will be merged to the dev branch.

If you are sending pull requests from your forked repo, follow the same steps.
