Within the Version Control System, topic branches are created from the default branch to represent individual change requests (Jira issues). The branches are short-lived and merged back into the default branch when the task is done. An alternative to Topic Branching ("Git Flow") is Trunk Based Development. (TBD)
Notes
- Include Issue IDs in Commit Logs for traceability.
- Topic branch for each issue
- Development environment for each issue
