Laravel Git Workflow

An opinionated GitHub workflow I use to manage my team and any freelancers I work with. All our projects use short lived feature branches off of master. We use draft pull requests and at least daily pushes so that I can track progress and identify "stuck" developers quickly.

Installation

composer require grosv/laravel-git-workflow --dev

This adds a handful of commands to your Laravel app.

Commands

php artisan day:start Verifies that we have the developer's GitHub username, checks out master and ensures it's up to date. Prompts developer to choose which issue to work on.

php artisan issue:start {issue} Checks out the branch associated with the issue. Creates a remote branch and draft pull request if they don't exist.

php artisan commit Ensures the developer is on a feature branch and then commits / pushes to it.

php artisan issue:close {issue} (Not Ideal) Puts up an empty commit with the project owner tagged in the message requesting a review and prompts the developer to go to github.com to mark the PR ready for review.

php artisan day:end Asks the developer how many hours they put in during the day and commits whatever has not yet been committed to the PR.
