Branches

The branching model of this project is based on the workflow named Git flow.

It is based on 2 main branches:

  • master : this branch is always ready to be deployed. It means that at any time, we should be able to build the branch and release a new version of the application.
  • develop : this branch contains the latest development that will be integrated in the next release once it's considered as stable.

New features should be implemented in feature branches created from develop. When the feature is ready, a pull-request is created and it'll be merge into develop when it is succesfully reviewed and accepted.

To release a new version of the application, when develop is considered stable, a release branch is created from develop. This can be considered as a release candidate branch. When everything is OK, this release branch is merged into master and the release is generated (a tag is applied to git, the release note is finalized, binaries are built,...) from master.

Git flow also supports the creation of hotfix branches when a bug is discovered in a released version. The hotfix branch is created from master and will be used only to implement a fix to this bug. Multiple hotfix branches can be created for the same release if multiple bugs are discovered.
