Feature Dev

Feature Development Workflow

Overview

Complete feature development toolkit providing structured workflows, branching strategies, automated testing, code review processes, and deployment coordination for modern software development teams.

Quick Start

Installation

npm install -g @feature-dev/cli
# or
npx @feature-dev/cli init

Initialize Feature Development

# Initialize in existing project
feature-dev init

# Create new project with feature workflow
feature-dev create my-project --template=feature-driven

Feature Workflow Management

Feature Creation

# Start new feature
feature-dev start user-authentication

# Start feature with specific type
feature-dev start user-authentication --type=feature --epic=EPIC-123

# Start feature with template
feature-dev start user-authentication --template=api-endpoint

# List active features
feature-dev list --status=active

Feature Configuration
