Convention: E3SM branch names must on E3SM-Project/E3SM must have the form:
<Github username>/<source code area or component>/<feature-description>Branches on a developer's personal E3SM fork do not need to start with <Github username> because this is clear from the fork name:
<source code area or component>/<feature-description>
- Use lower-case for everything. Even your username.
- Use hyphens instead of underscores.
- one name for the github username.
- This is the person in charge of the branch and not necessarily the only person working on it.
- The E3SM IG needs one person to act as point-of-contact to answer questions about the branch and take requests for merging.
- This is why github usernames should be close to the your real name.
- Only needed for branches directly on
E3SM-Project/E3SM
- Group leads may make additional conventions for <source code area or component> and <feature-description>.
