- You can use [`git rerere`](https://git-scm.com/blog/2010/03/08/rerere.html)
to avoid resolving the same conflicts multiple times.
+### Cherry-picking from CE to EE
+
+For avoiding merge conflicts, we use a method of creating equivalent branches
+for CE and EE. If the `ee-compat-check` job fails, this process is required.
+
+This method only requires that you have cloned both CE and EE into your computer.
+If you don't have them yet, please go ahead and clone them:
+
+- Clone CE repo: `git clone git@gitlab.com:gitlab-org/gitlab-ce.git`
+- Clone EE repo: `git clone git@gitlab.com:gitlab-org/gitlab-ee.git`
+
+And the only additional setup we need is to add CE as remote of EE and vice-versa:
+
+- Open two terminal windows, one in CE, and another one in EE:
+ - In EE: `git remote add ce git@gitlab.com:gitlab-org/gitlab-ce.git`
+ - In CE: `git remote add ee git@gitlab.com:gitlab-org/gitlab-ee.git`
+
+That's all setup we need, so that we can cherry-pick a commit from CE to EE, and
+from EE to CE.
+
+Now, every time you create an MR for CE and EE:
+
+1. Open two terminal windows, one in CE, and another one in EE
+1. In the CE terminal:
+ 1. Create the CE branch, e.g., `branch-example`
+ 1. Make your changes and push a commit (commit A)
+ 1. Create the CE merge request in GitLab
+1. In the EE terminal:
+ 1. Create the EE-equivalent branch ending with `-ee`, e.g.,
+ `git checkout -b branch-example-ee`
+ 1. Fetch the CE branch: `git fetch ce branch-example`
+ 1. Cherry-pick the commit A: `git cherry-pick commit-A-SHA`
+ 1. If Git prompts you to fix the conflicts, do a `git status`
+ to check which files contain conflicts, fix them, save the files
+ 1. Add the changes with `git add .` but **DO NOT commit** them
+ 1. Continue cherry-picking: `git cherry-pick --continue`
+ 1. Push to EE: `git push origin branch-example-ee`
+1. Create the EE-equivalent MR and link to the CE MR from the
+description "Ports [CE-MR-LINK] to EE"
+1. Once all the jobs are passing in both CE and EE, you've addressed the
+feedback from your own team, and got them approved, the merge requests can be merged.
+1. When both MRs are ready, the EE merge request will be merged first, and the
+CE-equivalent will be merged next.
+
+**Important notes:**
+
+- The commit SHA can be easily found from the GitLab UI. From a merge request,
+open the tab **Commits** and click the copy icon to copy the commit SHA.
+- To cherry-pick a **commit range**, such as [A > B > C > D] use:
+
+ ```shell
+ git cherry-pick "oldest-commit-SHA^..newest-commit-SHA"
+ ```
+
+ For example, suppose the commit A is the oldest, and its SHA is `4f5e4018c09ed797fdf446b3752f82e46f5af502`,
+ and the commit D is the newest, and its SHA is `80e1c9e56783bd57bd7129828ec20b252ebc0538`.
+ The cherry-pick command will be:
+
+ ```shell
+ git cherry-pick "4f5e4018c09ed797fdf446b3752f82e46f5af502^..80e1c9e56783bd57bd7129828ec20b252ebc0538"
+ ```
+
+- To cherry-pick a **merge commit**, use the flag `-m 1`. For example, suppose that the
+merge commit SHA is `138f5e2f20289bb376caffa0303adb0cac859ce1`:
+
+ ```shell
+ git cherry-pick -m 1 138f5e2f20289bb376caffa0303adb0cac859ce1
+ ```
+- To cherry-pick multiple commits, such as B and D in a range [A > B > C > D], use:
+
+ ```shell
+ git cherry-pick commmit-B-SHA commit-D-SHA
+ ```
+
+ For example, suppose commit B SHA = `4f5e4018c09ed797fdf446b3752f82e46f5af502`,
+ and the commit D SHA = `80e1c9e56783bd57bd7129828ec20b252ebc0538`.
+ The cherry-pick command will be:
+
+ ```shell
+ git cherry-pick 4f5e4018c09ed797fdf446b3752f82e46f5af502 80e1c9e56783bd57bd7129828ec20b252ebc0538
+ ```
+
+ This case is particularly useful when you have a merge commit in a sequence of
+ commits and you want to cherry-pick all but the merge commit.
+
+- If you push more commits to the CE branch, you can safely repeat the procedure
+to cherry-pick them to the EE-equivalent branch. You can do that as many times as
+necessary, using the same CE and EE branches.
+- If you submitted the merge request to the CE repo and the `ee-compat-check` job passed,
+you are not required to submit the EE-equivalent MR, but it's still recommended. If the
+job failed, you are required to submit the EE MR so that you can fix the conflicts in EE
+before merging your changes into CE.

+### Detection of EE-only files
+
+For each commit (except on `master`), the `ee-files-location-check` CI job tries
+to detect if there are any new files that are EE-only. If any file is detected,
+the job fails with an explanation of why and what to do to make it pass.
+
+Basically, the fix is simple: `git mv <file> ee/<file>`.
+
+#### How to name your branches?
+
+For any EE branch, the job will try to detect its CE counterpart by removing any
+`ee-` prefix or `-ee` suffix from the EE branch name, and matching the last
+branch that contains it.
+
+For instance, from the EE branch `new-shiny-feature-ee` (or
+`ee-new-shiny-feature`), the job would find the corresponding CE branches:
+
+- `new-shiny-feature`
+- `ce-new-shiny-feature`
+- `new-shiny-feature-ce`
+- `my-super-new-shiny-feature-in-ce`
+
+#### Whitelist some EE-only files that cannot be moved to `ee/`
+
+The `ee-files-location-check` CI job provides a whitelist of files or folders
+that cannot or should not be moved to `ee/`. Feel free to open an issue to
+discuss adding a new file/folder to this whitelist.
+
+For instance, it was decided that moving EE-only files from `qa/` to `ee/qa/`
+would make it difficult to build the `gitLab-{ce,ee}-qa` Docker images and it
+was [not worth the complexity].

+## Best practices
+
+### Splitting sentences
+
+Please never split a sentence as that would assume the sentence grammar and
+structure is the same in all languages.
+
+For instance, the following
+
+```js
+{{ s__("mrWidget|Set by") }}
+{{ author.name }}
+{{ s__("mrWidget|to be merged automatically when the pipeline succeeds") }}
+```
+
+should be externalized as follows:
+
+```js
+{{ sprintf(s__("mrWidget|Set by %{author} to be merged automatically when the pipeline succeeds"), { author: author.name }) }}
+```
+
+When in doubt, try to follow the best practices described in this [Mozilla
+Developer documentation][mdn].
+
+[mdn]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Localization/Localization_content_best_practices#Splitting
+
+## Updating the PO files with the new content
+
+Now that the new content is marked for translation, we need to update the PO
+files with the following command:
+
+```sh
+bin/rake gettext:find
+```
+
+This command will update the `locale/gitlab.pot` file with the newly externalized
+strings and remove any strings that aren't used anymore. You should check this
+file in. Once the changes are on master, they will be picked up by
+[Crowdin](http://translate.gitlab.com) and be presented for translation.
+
+If there are merge conflicts in the `gitlab.pot` file, you can delete the file
+and regenerate it using the same command. Confirm that you are not deleting any strings accidentally by looking over the diff.
+
+The command also updates the translation files for each language: `locale/*/gitlab.po`
+These changes can be discarded, the languange files will be updated by Crowdin
+automatically.
+
+Discard all of them at once like this:
+
+```sh
+git checkout locale/*/gitlab.po
+```
+
+### Validating PO files
+
+To make sure we keep our translation files up to date, there's a linter that is
+running on CI as part of the `static-analysis` job.
+
+To lint the adjustments in PO files locally you can run `rake gettext:lint`.
+
+The linter will take the following into account:
+
+- Valid PO-file syntax
+- Variable usage
+ - Only one unnamed (`%d`) variable, since the order of variables might change
+ in different languages
+ - All variables used in the message-id are used in the translation
+ - There should be no variables used in a translation that aren't in the
+ message-id
+- Errors during translation.
+
+The errors are grouped per file, and per message ID:
+
+```
+Errors in `locale/zh_HK/gitlab.po`:
+ PO-syntax errors
+ SimplePoParser::ParserErrorSyntax error in lines
+ Syntax error in msgctxt
+ Syntax error in msgid
+ Syntax error in msgstr
+ Syntax error in message_line
+ There should be only whitespace until the end of line after the double quote character of a message text.
+ Parseing result before error: '{:msgid=>["", "You are going to remove %{project_name_with_namespace}.\\n", "Removed project CANNOT be restored!\\n", "Are you ABSOLUTELY sure?"]}'
+ SimplePoParser filtered backtrace: SimplePoParser::ParserError
+Errors in `locale/zh_TW/gitlab.po`:
+ 1 pipeline
+ <%d 條流水線> is using unknown variables: [%d]
+ Failure translating to zh_TW with []: too few arguments
+```
+
+In this output the `locale/zh_HK/gitlab.po` has syntax errors.
+The `locale/zh_TW/gitlab.po` has variables that are used in the translation that
+aren't in the message with id `1 pipeline`.

Be sure to check the following guidelines before you translate any strings.
+### Namespaced strings
+
+When an externalized string is prepended with a namespace, e.g.
+`s_('OpenedNDaysAgo|Opened')`, the namespace should be removed from the final
+translation.
+For example in French `OpenedNDaysAgo|Opened` would be translated to

+- Create the EE-equivalent branch ending with `-ee`, e.g.,
+ `git checkout -b docs-example-ee`

+- Note that the review will occur only in the CE MR, as the EE MR
+contains the same commits as the CE MR.
+- If you have a few more changes that apply to the EE-version only, you can submit
+a couple more commits to the EE branch, but ask the reviewer to review the EE merge request
+additionally to the CE MR. If there are many EE-only changes though, start a new MR
+to EE only.
