User Stories

• GitHub Issues serve as a the primary repository for user stories, as well as bug reports.
• Use Milestones to consolidate related tickets towards a future release plan.
• Pull Requests do not require a related issue, but make note of bugs as soon as you see them.

UI / UX

• Use Bootstrap's built-in components as much as possible until we have a new design and style guide.

Testing

• The application uses minitest for basic integration and unit testing.
• Use Guard to enable continuous testing within your local environment, as well as live-reload.
• You can also execute the test suite with bundle exec rake test.

Pull Requests

• Pull Requests serve as the history for the evolution of the application.
• Avoid direct commits to master for any significant functionality (e.g. anything more than typos or basic CSS).

Deployment

• See Deploying wiki article.
