Branching model follows http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/:

  • master branch is stable, HEAD is always the latest release
  • develop branch contains the latest code for the next release.
  • various feature branches, to be merged into develop upon completion

For a new feature, branch off develop: $ git checkout -b myfeature develop

To merge a feature back into develop: $ git checkout develop $ git merge --no-ff myfeature $ git branch -d myfeature $ git push --tags origin develop

To start a new release, first branch off develop: $ export RELEASE=0.7.8 $ git checkout -b release-${RELEASE} develop

To finalize the release, merge its branch into master and develop, and tag master: $ git checkout master $ git merge --no-ff release-${RELEASE} $ git tag -a ${RELEASE} $ git push --tags origin master $ git checkout develop $ git merge --no-ff release-${RELEASE} $ git branch -d release-${RELEASE}

And update PyPi & documentation: $ cd docs/src; make clean html $ python2.5 ./setup.py test $ python2.5 ./setup.py sdist bdist_egg register upload $ scp -r docs/src/_build/html/* [email protected]:/nlp/projekty/gensim/public_html/

Whitespace

There should be no trailing whitespace in source code. Whitespace on empty Python lines (lines separating blocks of code/methods etc.) is fine and even desirable, but more difficult to work around in git.

To make sure you didn't introduce any trailing whitespace in your commit, enable the pre-commit hook (=move file .git/hooks/pre-commit.sample to .git/hooks/pre-commit). In this file, there should be a line: exec git diff-index --check --cached $against -- Change it to exec git diff-index --check --cached $against src

Now every commit inside the src directory will be first checked by this hook. If there is trailing whitespace, the hook will refuse the commit and give you the offending line(s), which you must fix first.
