Claude Autopilot

Claude Autopilot uses a specific branching strategy and workflow for code contributions.

Branch Strategy

• main: Stable releases
• develop: Integration branch for new features
• feature/feature-name: Individual feature branches
• fix/issue-number: Bug fix branches

Pull Request Workflow

1. Create a branch from develop:

git checkout develop
git pull origin develop
git checkout -b feature/your-feature-name

2. Implement changes following the project's coding standards.
3. Test your changes:

npm run compile
npm run test # if tests exist

4. Commit with descriptive messages. It is recommended to use a multi-line commit format that includes a summary and a list of changes, as well as references to issue numbers (e.g., Fixes #123).
5. Push and create a PR:

git push origin feature/your-feature-name

6. Complete the PR template, including descriptions, testing details, and screenshots for UI changes.

git checkout develop
git pull origin develop
git checkout -b feature/your-feature-name
npm run compile
npm run test
git commit -m "Add auto-retry mechanism...\n\n- Implement exponential backoff...\n\nFixes #123"
git push origin feature/your-feature-name

To publish the extension to the marketplace, follow these steps:

1. Install the VS Code Extension Manager:

   npm install -g @vscode/vsce

2. Prepare Azure DevOps: Create an account at Azure DevOps and generate a Personal Access Token (PAT).
3. Create/Identify Publisher: Use vsce create-publisher benbasha if you haven't created the publisher yet.
4. Login: Run vsce login benbasha and provide your PAT when prompted.
5. Publish:
   • To publish the current version: vsce publish
   • To publish with a version bump:
     • Patch (e.g., 2.0.1): vsce publish patch
     • Minor (e.g., 2.1.0): vsce publish minor
     • Major (e.g., 3.0.0): vsce publish major

Alternative: Manual Upload If you prefer not to use the CLI, you can manually upload the generated .vsix file to the Visual Studio Marketplace management portal.

# Install vsce
npm install -g @vscode/vsce

# Login
vsce login benbasha

# Publish with version bump
vsce publish patch
