##### Base branch
The `develop` branch is generally the base branch for every PRs.
Exceptions can occur:
- if a feature implementation is split into multiple PRs. We can have a chain of PRs in this case. PR can be merged one by one on develop, and GitHub change the target branch to `develop` for the next PR automatically.
- we want to merge a PR from the community, but there is still work to do, and the PR is not updated by the submitter. First, we can kindly ask the submitter if they will update their PR, by commenting it. If there is no answer after a few days (including a week-end), we can create a new branch, push it, and change the target branch of the PR to this new branch. The PR can then be merged, and we can add more commits to fix the issues. After that a new PR can be created with `develop` as a target branch.
**Important notice 1:** Releases are created from the `develop` branch. So `develop` branch should always contain a "releasable" source code. So when a feature is being implemented with several PRs, it has to be disabled by default (using a feature flag for instance), until the feature is fully implemented. A last PR to enable the feature can then be created.
**Important notice 2:** Database migration: some developers and some people from the community are using the nightly build from `develop`. Multiple database migrations should be properly handled for them. This is OK to have multiple migrations between 2 releases, this is not OK to add steps to the pending database migration on `develop`. So for instance `develop` users will migrate from version 11 to version 12, then 13, then 14, and `main` users will do all those steps after they get the app upgrade.
