Branch Naming

  • feature/<topic> - New features
  • fix/<topic> - Bug fixes
  • refactor/<topic> - Refactoring
  • docs/<topic> - Documentation

PR Workflow

bash
1# Create branch
2git checkout -b <type>/<topic> origin/main
3
4# Make changes, then
5pixi run lint
6pixi run test-all
7
8# Push and create PR
9git push -u origin HEAD
10gh pr create --draft --milestone "DART 7.0"

Rule of thumb: run pixi run lint before committing so auto-fixes are included.

Use .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md and ensure the PR description covers Summary, Motivation, Changes, Testing, Breaking Changes, and Related Issues.

Milestones (Required)

Always set a milestone when creating PRs:

Target BranchMilestone
mainDART 7.0 (or next major)
release-6.16DART 6.16.x (current patch)
bash
1# Set milestone on existing PR
2gh pr edit <PR#> --milestone "DART 7.0"
3
4# List available milestones
5gh api repos/dartsim/dart/milestones --jq '.[] | .title'

CRITICAL: Bug Fix Dual-PR

Bug fixes require PRs to BOTH branches:

  1. release-6.16 - Current release
  2. main - Next release

Steps:

  1. Fix on release-6.16 first
  2. Cherry-pick to main
  3. Create separate PRs for each

CHANGELOG (After PR Created)

After creating a PR, check if CHANGELOG.md needs updating:

Change TypeUpdate CHANGELOG?
Bug fixes✅ Yes
New features✅ Yes
Breaking changes✅ Yes (in Breaking Changes section)
Documentation improvements✅ Yes (in Tooling and Docs)
CI/tooling changes✅ Yes (in Tooling and Docs)
Refactoring (no behavior change)⚠️ Maybe (if significant)
Dependency bumps⚠️ Maybe (if user-facing)
Typo fixes❌ No

Format: - Description. ([#PR](https://github.com/dartsim/dart/pull/PR))

bash
1# Example entry in CHANGELOG.md under appropriate section:
2- Added AI-native documentation with AGENTS.md and module-specific guides. ([#2446](https://github.com/dartsim/dart/pull/2446))

Code Review

  • Address all feedback
  • Keep changes minimal
  • Update tests if behavior changed
  • Run full validation before pushing fixes

CI Loop

bash
1gh run watch <RUN_ID> --interval 30

Fix failures until green.
