[-] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago

Yall have multiple branches?

[-] sheogorath@lemmy.world 104 points 1 day ago

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.

Develop should be Chaotic Evil.

[-] roanutil_@programming.dev 3 points 23 hours ago

This is what is used where I work. I have never and will never understand why.

[-] ghen@sh.itjust.works 2 points 19 hours ago

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

[-] Midnitte@beehaw.org 11 points 1 day ago

Feel like lawful evil fits better for master

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 1 day ago

Never merge. Only cherry pick.

[-] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 21 points 1 day ago

You have met every team I have ever worked with apparently

[-] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

How have you survived in this world without exploding into a million little fiery merge conflicts?

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

I let the interns handle those. If they survive, they get bragging rights.

[-] Tja@programming.dev 26 points 1 day ago

Why would you name a branch just 7 asterisks?

[-] pohart@programming.dev 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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.

Chaotic Evil should be the current sha hash.

Moab is “mouth over anus & balls”.

[-] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 1 points 21 hours ago

Even better

[-] GenosseFlosse@feddit.org 29 points 1 day ago

It's master3. Don't question it!

[-] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 20 points 1 day 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.

[-] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 28 points 1 day ago
[-] kubica@fedia.io 13 points 1 day ago

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

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

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

"fuck it, it''s friday"

[-] tamlyn@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 day ago
