Setup processes using github workflows to synchronize a Connect App and a github repository.

Branches and app mapping

Each branch on github is mapped to a copy of the app on Connect:

• main is mapped to the ibexa-dxp app on the shared account (productmanagement@ibexa.co)
• custom branches created by developers are mapped to a copy of the app on the developer’s account, suffixed with the branch’s name (ibexa-dxp-:branch), and named after it as well

Workflows

• creating a branch creates a copy of the base branch on the branch’s creator’s Connect account
• changes can be committed using a custom action (console command ? action on github ?)
• the pull-request is created the usual way
  must add the shared URL to the app to the PR so that QA can install it for testing
• when the pull-request is merged, the app copy overwrites the base app (need to handle conflicts / rebases ?)
• when the branch is deleted, the matching copy is deleted

Open questions

• do we want to integrate tagging as well ? tagging the main branch approves and compiles the app.
• how do we handle merge conflicts ? we need some rebase, but what is it triggered by ?
• clarify how commits are handled
