Git Flow graph

Master & develop

Master code is production code it only has merges from release branches or hot-fixes.

Feature branches

Feature branches

git checkout develop
git checkout -b feature/mw-123-special-vessel

Each new feature should reside in its own branch, which can be pushed to the central repository for backup/collaboration. But, instead of branching off of master, feature branches use develop as their parent branch. When a feature is complete, it gets merged back into develop. Features should never interact directly with master.

bugfix branches

git checkout develop
git checkout -b bugfix/mw-123-vessel-error

Each new bug should reside in its own branch, which can be pushed to the central repository for backup/collaboration. But, instead of branching off of master, bugfix branches use develop as their parent branch. When a bugfix is complete, it gets merged back into develop.

Release branch

Once develop has acquired enough features for a release (or a predetermined release date is approaching), you fork a release branch off of develop.

Hot fix branch
