The project 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. + +- **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 successfully 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.
