UX Branch

What is the UX branch?

The UX branch is a project branch for landing experimental UX changes before they are ready to land on mozilla-central. Developers can use this branch to gather feedback on un-reviewed patches and work with the UX team to iterate on UX design. After a final design is reached, patches must go through the normal review process before landing on mozilla-central.

What are the rules for the UX branch?

• When you land a patch, add it to the UX branch etherpad. You should include:
  • Your name
  • Bug number
  • Changeset link
  • Any additional comments
• If you iterate on your patch, you should backout your original changeset and re-land a new patch. This makes patches easy to track and prepares them for the normal review process.
• When you push to the UX branch, you should be a good citizen and merge mozilla-central into the branch.
• Backout your patch when it lands on mozilla-central.
• Since this branch is experimental, you do not need to make sure all tests pass, but it would be in your best interest to fix your patch, since a broken patch won't be able to land on mozilla-central later. There is a UX branch TBPL you can monitor.
