Feature Canvas and Git Branch Management

Description of your new file.

How It Works

When you create a new feature canvas in the Projects page, our system automatically generates a corresponding Git branch from the latest master branch on GitHub. This approach enables isolated development of each feature.

Critical Step: Always Merge Before Creating a New Feature

If you’ve been working on a feature canvas, you must push your changes to GitHub and merge them into the master branch before creating a new feature canvas.

Skipping the merge step will cause your new feature branch to be created from an outdated master branch, which won’t include your previous work.

If you’ve already created a feature canvas and need to pull in changes from the master branch, you can use the Git settings tab to pull the latest changes.

Best Practices

• Push regularly to keep your GitHub branch updated

• Complete and merge one feature before creating another

• Structure larger projects as multiple feature canvases instead of developing everything in a single branch

By following these steps, you’ll ensure smooth collaboration and maintain a clean project history.
