Pattern: next-release Branch for Atomic Deploys

Context

Major-domo discord-app-v2. Gitea Actions CI/CD triggers a Docker build and deploy on every merge to main.

Problem

Non-urgent changes (deploy scripts, test cleanup, minor fixes) would each trigger a separate deploy if merged individually to main. This creates unnecessary intermediate deploys and noisy CI runs.

Solution

Accumulate non-urgent changes on a next-release branch. When ready to deploy, open a single PR from next-release into main to capture all changes atomically.

Workflow

# Start or check out existing batch branch
git checkout -b next-release   # or git checkout next-release

# Merge individual feature/fix branches into it
git merge feature/deploy-script
git merge fix/remove-obsolete-tests

# When ready to deploy, open a PR
tea pulls create --head next-release --base main --title "chore: batch release - deploy script + test cleanup"

First Use

Combined two changes on one next-release branch:

  • .scripts/deploy.sh — new deploy helper script
  • Removal of obsolete MoveAction test stub (closes #16)

When to Use

  • Changes that are complete but non-urgent
  • Multiple small changes that logically belong together
  • Avoiding a deploy for every minor cleanup commit

When NOT to Use

  • Hotfixes (go directly to a fix/ branch → PR to main)
  • Breaking changes that need their own deploy validation
