Branching Model

In this section, we present the development model introducing the Breast Screening Prototype workflow. At the core, the development model is greatly inspired by existing models out there. We follow the A successful Git branching model by Vincent Driessen that we acknowledge in this section and work.

Main Branches

The central repo holds two main branches with an infinite lifetime. The two branches are as follows regarding the next figure.

The two main branches are:

  • master

  • develop

The master branch at origin should be familiar to every Git user. Parallel to the master branch, another branch exists called the develop branch. The following figure reflects this behavior.

Conclusions

Our branching model does not address anything new, however, a deep analysis revealed to be useful for our Breast Screening Prototype. We form an elegant mental model by easily comprehending and allowing the development of a shared understanding workflow of the branching and releasing processes.
