Contributing guidelines

Git workflow

• We use a trunk-based development approach - create a feature branch from main, e.g. feature/new-feature
• Pull requests must contain a succinct, clear summary of what the user need is driving this feature change
• Ensure your branch contains logical atomic commits before sending a pull request - follow the alphagov Git styleguide
• You may rebase your branch after feedback if it's to include relevant updates from the main branch. We prefer a rebase here to a merge commit as we prefer a clean and straight history on main with discrete merge commits for features
