Git Strategy

Branch Strategy

• main: Production releases
• develop: Development integration
• feature/backend-*: Backend features
• feature/mobile-*: Mobile features
• feature/web-*: Web features
• feature/shared-*: Shared code features

Commit Message Format

<type>(<scope>): <subject>

<body>

<footer>

Types: feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, test, chore

Scopes: backend, mobile, web, shared, ci/cd

Examples:

• feat(backend): Implement JWT authentication with refresh tokens
• fix(mobile): Resolve encryption key storage issue
• docs(shared): Update API type definitions
• chore(ci/cd): Add Forgejo workflow for backend builds

Shared Code Management

TypeScript Package

The shared/ directory contains TypeScript code shared between mobile and web:

• Type definitions (API models)
• Validation schemas (Zod)
• Encryption utilities
• API client
• Constants

Usage in Mobile/Web

// mobile/package.json and web/package.json
{
  "dependencies": {
    "shared": "file:../shared"
  }
}

Watch Mode for Development

# In shared/ directory
npm run watch  # Watch and rebuild on changes

# In mobile/ and web/ directories
# Changes to shared/ are automatically picked up

Next Steps

1. Initialize Monorepo Structure

   • Create all directories
   • Create placeholder files
   • Update root .gitignore

2. Backend Initialization

   • Initialize Rust project (backend/)
   • Setup Cargo.toml
   • Create docker-compose files
   • Create Dockerfiles

3. Shared Code Setup

   • Initialize TypeScript project (shared/)
   • Setup type definitions
   • Setup Zod validation schemas
   • Setup encryption utilities

4. Mobile Setup (Phase 3)

   • Initialize React Native project
   • Setup Redux Toolkit
   • Setup navigation

5. Web Setup (Phase 3)

   • Initialize React project
   • Setup Redux Toolkit
   • Setup routing
