Branching Strategy

Steve Maillet edited this page Apr 9, 2015 · 5 revisions

The branching strategy for the .NET Micro Framework is a common form using a master branch for all official releases, hotfix branches for any patches and a dev branch for centralizing future development and individual feature branches for in progress feature work. A more detailed description of the process is available in this excellent article by @nvie. A key difference from the strategy described in the article is due to hosting the central repository on GitHub. Pull Requests on GitHub require a public GitHub fork so each individual's "origin" repository is their forked one stored on GitHub. Pull requests are made to the upstream repository from your fork. Thus there are a few extra steps from what @nvie describes due to how GitHub works but the general principals apply.
