Define a clear git branching model Geschlossen Sat 15 Sep 2012 1:05PM
Accepted and taken in to use - documented at https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/wiki/Git-Workflow
Currently AFAIK master is whatever was pushed last by a developer who has rights to push to master.
We need a better clear branching model that allows anyone to pick out whatever they need, be it a stable branch, the current development head or a feature branch.
I suggest we follow the clear branching model explained in this post:
http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/
Some highlights;
1) Master always contains the release code, in addition releases are tagged
2) Development head is called the 'develop' branch. This is where developers with sufficient access merge pull requests and feature branches
3) (Optional in future, maybe when things have evolved) Release branches are branched from develop to form candidates for a release
4) Feature branches are branched from develop to work on larger features

I agree, but further details have to be worked out

I think this would definitely be useful for stabilizing devolopment.

Since I see a consensus here, another question came into my mind we need a decision for IMO: How long to keep branches once they are merged? Delete them right away with the merge? Wait a week? Keep them forever?

I think the devil is in the details. What do you call "release ready?" Right now it should not go in master until it passes Travis. What else would we do to certify a release version?
