Branching Model

main ← 📦 production releases dev ← 🛠 active development (default Pull Request target)

• main holds only stable, version-tagged releases.
• dev is the rolling integration branch where all feature / fix PRs land first.
  Maintainers periodically open an internal PR from dev → main when a new release is ready.

How to Open a Pull Request

1. Fork the repository to your GitHub account.
2. Clone your fork and set the upstream remote:
   

   git clone https://github.com/<your-user>/merrypopins.git
   cd merrypopins
   git remote add upstream https://github.com/SerpRateAI/merrypopins.git
   

3. Sync & branch off dev:

   git fetch upstream
   git checkout -b feature/awesome upstream/dev
   

4. Do your work → commit:

   git commit -m "feat: add awesome feature"
   

5. Push to your fork:

   git push origin feature/awesome
   

6. Open a pull request into dev (set the PR’s base branch to dev).
7. Address any review comments & keep your feature branch updated with the latest dev if needed.

Note: Once your PR is merged into dev, the maintainers will handle promoting dev to main when preparing a new release—please don’t open PRs directly against main.
