# Branches
The branching model of this project is based on the workflow named [Git flow](https://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/).
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.
The project is based on 2 main branches:
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.
- **master** : this branch is always ready to be deployed. It means that at any time, we should be able to build the branch and release a new version of the application.
- **develop** : this branch contains the latest development that will be integrated in the next release once it's considered as stable.
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,...).
New features should be implemented in **feature branches** created from **develop**. When the feature is ready, a pull-request is created and it'll be merge into **develop** when it is successfully reviewed and accepted.
To release a new version of the application, when develop is considered stable, a **release** branch is created from **develop**. This can be considered as a *release candidate* branch. When everything is OK, this release branch is merged into **master** and the release is generated (a tag is applied to git, the release note is finalized, binaries are built,...) from **master**.
Git flow also supports the creation of **hotfix** branches when a bug is discovered in a released version. The **hotfix** branch is created from **master** 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.
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.
