Main Branch

When you create a new project there will only be one branch called "main".
This branch cannot be used for day-to-day development
Making any direct commits on this branch is not allowed.
This branch can only be updated by merging the changes made on a different branch.

Develop Branch

Create a new branch called "develop"

Feature Branches

These are for very specific bugs or new features
These are either "bugfix/" or "feature/"
Create a new branch called "feature/version1"

Release Branches

These are prefixed with "release/version1"

Merge Requests

After a merge request the branch will be automatically removed.

To save the list of approvers for Merge Requests
