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.

branch (i always commit directly to the main branch so i only have one, so why bother naming it. also YOU CANT STOP ME FROM DOING IT BWAHAHAHAHAHA)

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 83 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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 40 points 2 days ago

Never merge. Only cherry pick.

[-] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 20 points 2 days ago

You have met every team I have ever worked with apparently

Conflict resolution only through melee combat.

Wrestle with Jeff, Prepare for death.

Develop should be Chaotic Evil.

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

Yall have multiple branches?

[-] Midnitte@beehaw.org 12 points 1 day ago

Feel like lawful evil fits better for master

[-] AnotherPenguin@programming.dev 20 points 2 days ago
[-] Tja@programming.dev 26 points 1 day ago

Why would you name a branch just 7 asterisks?

[-] GenosseFlosse@feddit.org 29 points 2 days ago

It's master3. Don't question it!

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

[-] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 18 points 2 days ago

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.

Chaotic Evil should be the current sha hash.

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

Live and let die?

It's dead, Jim.

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.

Moab is “mouth over anus & balls”.

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

[-] Nomecks@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

Main is QA. Production is release branches.

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

[-] UntouchedWagons@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

Some of my repos on github use either main or master.

[-] Mithre@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Our development branch is "working", then we have specific dated snapshots where we run our datasets through our programs.

Evolution names like "mammal".
