Branching Model for Cytoscape Core Projects
Cytoscape Core projects use the following branching model:
This is one of the best practices used in developers community using git. The following two branches always exist for all sub-projects:
master - for tagging releases. Once we create a release, the code set will be set to HEAD of this branch. This will NOT be used for daily development.
develop - for development. This branch was called trunk in our old SVN repository. Core developers commit their code to this branch.
In addition to these branches, we use the following branches:
hotfix - for bug fix releases. For example, fixes for 3.0.1 release will be maintained in this branch and will be merged back to both develop and master.
release - once we reach to a milestone, we create this branch for the next release. For example, 3.1.0 code will be maintained in this branch and will be merged back to develop. Once it is ready to release, it will be merged back to master and tagged.
