Question Details

Q: should we properly categorize our branches?

my mentor says it might be a good idea to incorporate common practice branch grouping

bugfix/no_destination_for_href
feature/adding_picture_of_a_cute_puppy
release/cute_puppy_update_for_better_retention
hotfix/corrupt_image_breaks_the_site_fix

for example:

git checkout -b feature/36-add-new-iam-user-drakeredwind01
instead of
git checkout -b 36-add-new-iam-user-drakeredwind01

doing this would make finding specific branches much easier as each prefaced catagory would show as another folder with all concerning branches within.

branch	how to incorperate	notes
bugfix:	[bugfix/]	problem that should be fixed that doesn't add any new functionality
Feature	[feature/]	an attribute or characteristic that adds value to the product.
Release	[release/]	where the maintainers believe the software is worth trying and using
Hotfix	[hotfix/]	should never use. needs to be added right away into production

• A: So our infra repo is a bit different - because it's an infrastructure repo and not a development repo, we don't have things like feature branches, hotfixes, etc. Our workflow is pretty simple, where the prefix for branch names are the issue number and description
