Overview

The demonstrated workflows use names such as main, development, staging, and feature.

  • main is the central line.
  • development holds work under active development.
  • staging can represent another pre-main integration line.
  • feature isolates a specific feature.

The important mechanism is not the name itself, but the separate history and working-tree view associated with each branch.
