For CV projects, consider using a modified GitFlow workflow:
- main: Stable production code
- develop: Integration branch for feature development
- feature/xxx: Feature branches for new functionality
- fix/xxx: Bug fix branches
- release/x.x.x: Release preparation branches
Use the following format for commit messages:
[component] Short description (50 chars)
More detailed description explaining why this change was made
and any important implementation details.
Closes #123
Where [component] is one of:
[core]- Core functionality[transform]- Image transformations[augment]- Data augmentation[mask]- Mask generation[analysis]- Dataset analysis[optimize]- Performance optimization[cli]- Command-line interface[docs]- Documentation[tests]- Test suite
When reviewing PRs for this CV project, check:
- Performance: Are operations optimized for large image sets?
- Memory usage: Are large images or datasets handled efficiently?
- Error handling: Are edge cases handled (corrupted images, etc.)?
- Documentation: Are functions well-documented with sample usage?
- Tests: Are there tests for visual output correctness?
For managing large image datasets:
# Initialize DVC in your repository
dvc init
# Add dataset directory to DVC
dvc add data/large_datasets
# Configure remote storage
dvc remote add -d myremote s3://mybucket/dvcstore
# Push/pull datasets
dvc push
dvc pullSet up pre-commit hooks for code quality:
