Github Protocol

Sygnal Component Marketplace ( SCM ) uses Github for the storage and deployment of Code Components to subscribing Webflow Workspaces.

Branch Structures

Integration Branch ( main )

main is the integration branch. You can do integration testing here, and do deployments to your standard test workspace, it will not affect SCM deployments.

Release Branches ( release/* )

Always use a major.minor convention, e.g. release/0.1 for the branch name. Always tag your release using the form major.minor.patch, e.g. v0.1.4

The marketplace actions will consider the most current tag to be the current release, based on semver sorting. Avoid pre-release and build metadata, e.g. v2.3.8-beta.2 , this is currently unsupported.

Why we use this model.

• Identifiable tags of the v* convention make it easier for SCM to identify available library versions

  • Sort them newest to oldest, using semver sorting

  • Identify the current release

• Discrete release branches makes release management, breaking changes, and hotfixes more manageable

Feature Branches ( feature/* )

Use this convention for feature-specific branches if you're doing long-term development

NOT FULLY IMPLEMENTED The idea will be that deployments from a feature branch will be distinct in one of two ways;

• Deploy to a different workspace

• Add a suffic to the library name so that it loads in parallel, in your test workspaces

• Other branches can be used for experiments

Future

We'll look at;

• Standardizing other tags

Deploying a Release

Prep integration;

1. Merge any necessary code from feature branches into main, if you're deploying a new feature

2. Update the library VERSION

Testing;

1. Run unit tests

2. Deploy main to your test Webflow workspace and fully test your work

Release;

1. Create a new Release branch if you have a new major or minor version

   git checkout -b release/0.1

2. PR your changes from main to the appropriate release branch

3. Tag this commit

   git tag v0.1.3

4. Push the Re

Creating a new Release Branch

From main

Use major.minor only.

e.g.

git checkout -b release/0.1)
