Yall have multiple branches?

[–] neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works 10 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Develop should be Chaotic Evil.

[–] roanutil_@programming.dev 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

This is what is used where I work. I have never and will never understand why.

At some point in the past that was the only way to make the business run immediately when the boss said it needed to run immediately, and it's been that way ever since

Feel like lawful evil fits better for master

Moab is “mouth over anus & balls”.

Even better

qa.

All development happens in feature branches. Someone other than the original developer needs to build and test the feature on our development servers. If successful it gets merged into qa, where it gets built and tested against it qa servers. Production build are tags on qa.

What about joe? Because the engineer who bootstrapped the project mistakenly put his name as the mainline branch and we realized it far too late during the lifecycle and the team decided to keep the branch name because it's hilarious.

Why would you name a branch just 7 asterisks?

Chaotic Evil should be the current sha hash.

[–] Nomecks@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 hours ago

Main is QA. Production is release branches.

Boring answer: older repos are master, newer ones are main. I've worked at companies that did other things such as having the prod branch be a branch called prod.

Branch on every commit. Never delete. If something needs to be rolled back, merge it back into HEAD. Conflict resolution only through melee combat.

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 37 points 19 hours ago

Never merge. Only cherry pick.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 18 points 19 hours ago

You have met every team I have ever worked with apparently

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 10 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

How have you survived in this world without exploding into a million little fiery merge conflicts?

[–] rtxn@lemmy.world 14 points 18 hours ago

I let the interns handle those. If they survive, they get bragging rights.

[–] GenosseFlosse@feddit.org 27 points 17 hours ago

It's master3. Don't question it!

[–] kubica@fedia.io 11 points 13 hours ago

I like prod because it makes less assumptions on stability. It is what is being used, good luck with the rest.

Evolution names like "mammal".

[–] mercano@lemmy.world 22 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

“live” didn’t make it onto the list, I see.

[–] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 hours ago

It's dead, Jim.

Live and let die?

Hey Linus did you merge my branch into mommy? I really want to get it out.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 12 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

[–] tamlyn@lemmy.zip 11 points 19 hours ago

we use git-flow in our company. So release is already another branch.
