Module Creation Checklist

When first creating a module for the DevOps Stack, there are a few steps to follow:

  1. Create a new repository in the Camptocamp GitHub organization, using the repository template.

  2. On the settings of the repository, in the General tab, on the Pull Requests section, disable the Allow squash commits option and enable the Automatically delete head branches option.

  3. Then go to the Collaborators and teams tab, add the infrastructure-department team as Maintainers and the is-devops-stack team as Administrators.

  4. Next go to the Branches tab, and create a new branch protection rule for the main branch, with the following settings.

  5. Afterwards, you need to add the Slack app to the repository in order to activate notifications on the #is-devops-stack channel. To do so, go to the channel and do the following:

    1. Type /github subscribe camptocamp/<MODULE_NAME>.

    2. Since it a new repository, Slack is not yet added as an authorized application, as you’ll see by the information on the channel. So you simply need to click Install GitHub App.

    3. On the window that appears, select the Camptocamp organization then select the repository you to add the Slack app to.

    4. Then, you can go back to the channel and type /github subscribe camptocamp/<MODULE_NAME> again. This time, you should see a confirmation message.

    5. Finally, unsubscribe to all the other types of notifications, except for Releases with the command: /github unsubscribe camptocamp/<MODULE_NAME> issues pulls commits deployments.

  6. All that is left to do is adding the repository to our team reminder. For that, you can go to the is-devops-stack team, and add the repository to our scheduled reminder on Slack about pending Pull Requests.
