Branch Strategy

Main branches

Inside the WormBase/website repository, there are three main branches: master, dev and production.

• master: current, stable code. All new changes brought into master have been tested on staging.wormbase.org and approved by either the curator requesting the change, or the lead developer.

• dev: any features/changes ready for testing should be pushed to the dev branch. This code gets pushed nightly to staging.wormbase.org.

• production: the code currently in production. Branched off of master at each release.
