GitHub guidelines

A collection of guidelines for the team to norm on, to improve overall development speed.

Currently, (as of October 2021) the team uses a staging branch (develop) that is cut weekly to the main trunk. The rationale for this was to have a testing environment as more stability improvements were made to the platform. All new pull requests should be open into develop.

1. Naming doesn't matter too much. A pattern I use is fix/github-issue-number or feat/github-issue-number.
2. Delete your branch after you merge. We would normally have GitHub do this automatically in settings, but that would automatically delete the develop branch
