[cordova-labs] Workflow for New Projects
Hello guys,
TLDR; Read the README.md before committing to incubator-cordova-labs.
The Git repository incubator-cordova-labs [1] is an awesome place to throw
sample code and share ideas. However, there are a few downfalls with
working on multiple projects in a share Git repository:
- Cannot isolate your Git history easily, which makes migrating to a fresh
Git repo hard for the successful projects.
- Working directory is polluted with everyone's files
- Needs each project to be a subdirectory
We can easily sidestep these issues by having each project work on Git
branch:
- Migrating to a new repository is now just a Git push
- Working directory is just your files.
- No merge commits or collisions with other people's commits
- Each project can be created in the root directory
I've updated the README.md with these instructions. In short, the `master`
branch should NEVER have code in it.
