Git branchesΒΆ
The development model used for fire development is a model introduced by Vincent Driessen in A successful Git branching model.
All work is done on the develop branch, or a feature branch (which is then
merged into develop). master should always be clean. To make a
release, You make a release branch form develop, bumg the version and
commit any necessary bugfixes then you merge the release branch into master and
tag a release. Usually the only commit on the release branch is actually
bumping the version numbers. Have a look at the git tree view of the history.
