Git Branching Strategy
From Gcube Wiki
- The master branch is the stable branch. Must be always in a releasable state.
- Feature (named feature/issue) branches are created from master (issue is the tracker issue number that describes the feature).
- Occasionally, feature branches can be created from other feature branches, although this is a discouraged practice.
- Features may be experimental. If not pursued, branches are discarded without corrupting the stability of the master branch.
- When a feature is complete, the corresponding feature branch is merged into the master branch.
- When master has enough stable features, it is released
- If an issue (typically a bug requiring immediate attention) in master is detected, a hotfix/issue branch is created from master (issue is the tracker issue number that reports the problem)
- Once the hotfix is complete it is merged to master and any open feature branch (if needed)

Sample usage
At any time, list the Maven-parent repository's branches on Gitea:
Then, by clicking on the "Issues" link, it will open the corresponding issues on the tracker system:
