Branches

The project has 1 main branch, aptly called main. This branch contains the latest development that will be tagged for the next release once it's considered stable.

New features should be implemented in feature branches created from main. When the feature is ready, a pull request is created and it'll be merged into main when it is successfully reviewed and accepted.

To release a new version of the application, when main is considered stable, a tag is created on the version bump commit in main and the release is generated (a tag is applied to git, the release note is finalized, binaries are built,...).

We also supports the creation of hotfix branches when a bug is discovered in a released version. The hotfix branch is created from the latest tag 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.
