+Branch Naming
+-------------
+
+We follow the uni-repo approach so our source is in one place. To work around some of the issues - for example looking at all PRs affecting a certain service - we prefix branches with the name of the service(s) the branch affects.
+
+    PR branch names, e.g. “api-”, “ide-”, “multi-ide-vfs-sapi-”.
+    
+Checking for branch naming consistency is part of the review process and the teams responsibility.
+
+    Use “all-” in case of doubt. E.g., https://github.com/c9/newclient/pull/12962/files affects redis schema code.
