We are following GitFlow as the branching strategy and for release management. You can install gitflow extension for your current git CLI from here.
The central repo holds two main branches with an infinite lifetime:
- master
- develop
The master branch at origin should be familiar to every Git user. Parallel to the master branch, another branch exists called develop.
We consider origin/master to be the main branch where the source code of HEAD always reflects a production-ready state.
We consider origin/develop to be the main branch where the source code of HEAD always reflects a state with the latest delivered development changes for the next release.
Next to the main branches master and develop, our development model uses a variety of supporting branches to aid parallel development between team members.
The different types of branches we may use are:
- Feature branches
- Release branches
- Hotfix branches
Fork the repository. Then, run:
git clone --recursive git@github.com:<username>/gitflow.git
cd <your repository>
git branch master origin/master
git flow init -d
git checkout develop
git flow feature start <your feature>
Then, do work and commit your changes. When your feature is completed, raise the pull-request against develop.
