In this video blog I’ll go over why we use git to manage our projects and why committing all your code to a master branch is absolute insanity and something you should never do. Instead, you should create feature branches- they allow you to create discrete chunks of code that you add to your staging branch one feature at a time until you have a version that you are ready to deploy to master.
You’ll see how this allows us to always have a production branch that is ready to go, a staging branch that has all the latest features but isn’t quite ready for prime time, and a feature branch that we can develop and break as much as we want without impacting anyone else.
