branching strategy
Branching strategy is the audacious attempt to manage a deluge of chaotic commits by splitting development into multiple offshoots. When two developers edit the same file simultaneously, it triggers a splendid dance of merge conflicts. Long-lived branches become archaeological relics, abandoned ruins no one dares to merge again. The days before release are filled with tension and regret, resembling a ritual more than version control. Ultimately, the safest approach is to treat the master branch as if no one is ever allowed to touch it.
