Merge Request Submission Guidelines

Before you submit your merge request consider the following guidelines:

Search GitLab for an open or closed Merge Request that relates to your submission. You don't want to duplicate effort.
Create a fork of this repository.
Create the development environment
Make your changes in a new git branch:
```
git checkout -b my-fix-branch develop
```
Create your patch commit.
Commit your changes using a descriptive commit message.
```
git commit -a
```
Note: the optional commit -a command line option will automatically "add" and "rm" edited files.
Push your branch to GitLab:
```
git push origin my-fix-branch
```
In GitLab, send a merge request to Game.
If we suggest changes, then:
- Make the required updates.
- Commit your changes to your branch (e.g. my-fix-branch).
- Push the changes to your GitLab repository (this will update your Merge Request).
You can also amend the initial commits and force push them to the branch.
```
git rebase develop -i
git push origin my-fix-branch -f
```
This is generally easier to follow, but separate commits are useful if the Merge Request contains iterations that might be interesting to see side-by-side.

After your merge request is merged

After your merge request is merged, you can safely delete your branch and merge the changes from the main (upstream) repository:

Delete the remote branch on GitLab either through the GitLab web UI or your local shell as follows:
```
git push origin --delete my-fix-branch
```
Check out the develop branch:
```
git checkout develop -f
```
Delete the local branch:
```
git branch -D my-fix-branch
```
Update your develop with the latest upstream version:
```
git pull --ff upstream develop
```

Developer Installation Process

You will need to either use the set up script for Windows or Linux/Mac that comes in the repository or do it all manually.

If you choose to install everything manually and not use the set up scripts, the following are required to be installed to ensure we are all using the same development environment tools:

MariaDB, OpenJDK, PHPMyAdmin, NGINX or Apache web server, PHP, Git Fork or git
