Dev best practices

[slspencer]

• Create a clone of the repo to work on an issue. Create a fork only if you're trying to be very experimental.
• Create a new branch from 'develop' to work on an issue.
• Name the branch using the issue name or number
• Immediately publish the branch to the repo. ( This communicates to the team that you're working on an issue, keeps others from stepping on your toes.)
• Push changes up to the published branch frequently, daily.
• Build & test the branch locally before making a Pull Request. (Use QtCreator or your preferred build tools. Import a test pattern & create a layout. If no problems, make a Pull Request. We can provide a test pattern, just ask.)
• Don’t “Hold” a Pull Request Until the Job is “Done”. Don't make monster Pull Requests - break it down as much as possible and make PRs as small as possible.
