Branching scheme

In our GIT Repositories, we are using the branching scheme described here

We have a master branch containing the last release. A development branch containing the current development state and (hopefully) some feature branches containing new feature developments.

So if you are a developer, please commit on the develop branch in the future. If you develop a new feature, please open a feature branch and merge it back to the develop branch when your feature is finished. Don’t commit on the master branch because it should only contain stable release versions merged there by the release engineer.
