Development Process

Define top functional test cases for important user behaviors on the feature you are working on

Eg: Provision user (by using a button)

Pull branch

git pull

OR

git fetch origin

git merge origin/master

Creating branch

git branch <branch name>

checkout branch / switch between branches

git checkout <branch name>

Pull branch

git fetch origin

git merge origin/master

Configure local environment 

NODE_ENV=development node server.js    
// run as local environment on OS X (check command for other platforms)

Test code (unit/functional) and verify results

THEN

Configure local environment to replicate production system

NODE_ENV=production node server.js    
// runs production server as local environment

Test code (unit/functional) and verify results

1) Go to http://www.github.com and switch to the branch you are working on

2) Click on button to create Pull Request (notifies the team automatically)

3) Await peer review
            OR
    Proceed yourself (till peer review process is in place)
 

SYNOPSIS

'git request-pull' [-p] <start> <url> [<end>]

DESCRIPTION

Generate a request asking your upstream project to pull changes into their tree. The request, printed to the standard output, summarizes the changes and indicates from where they can be pulled.

The upstream project is expected to have the commit named by <start> and the output asks it to integrate the changes you made since that commit, up to the commit named by <end>, by visiting the repository named by <url>.
