I’m using shenanigans now, fits the best methinks.

What about joe? Because the engineer who bootstrapped the project mistakenly put his name as the mainline branch and we realized it far too late during the lifecycle and the team decided to keep the branch name because it's hilarious.

Branch on every commit. Never delete. If something needs to be rolled back, merge it back into HEAD. Conflict resolution only through melee combat.

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 43 points 1 week ago

Never merge. Only cherry pick.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 21 points 1 week ago

You have met every team I have ever worked with apparently

How have you survived in this world without exploding into a million little fiery merge conflicts?

[–] rtxn@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

I let the interns handle those. If they survive, they get bragging rights.

I like prod because it makes less assumptions on stability. It is what is being used, good luck with the rest.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 days ago

Stick with the prod, its always a good idea to prod with the prod, stick with the prod.

[–] mercano@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (2 children)

“live” didn’t make it onto the list, I see.

Boring answer: older repos are master, newer ones are main. I've worked at companies that did other things such as having the prod branch be a branch called prod.

Why would you name a branch just 7 asterisks?

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

Chaotic Evil should be the current sha hash.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

🤡 for master

👽 for test

💩 for dev

[–] palordrolap@fedia.io 14 points 1 week ago

belay your panic. even mommy cannot save you.

"testing"

[–] neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Develop should be Chaotic Evil.

[–] roanutil_@programming.dev 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is what is used where I work. I have never and will never understand why.

[–] tamlyn@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 week ago

it's a one way ticket to having "who's on first?" problems

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

If you never pu5 anything into production then you never fail

[–] pohart@programming.dev 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

qa.

All development happens in feature branches. Someone other than the original developer needs to build and test the feature on our development servers. If successful it gets merged into qa, where it gets built and tested against it qa servers. Production build are tags on qa.

[–] dosuser123456@programming.dev 6 points 1 week ago

branch (i always commit directly to the main branch so i only have one, so why bother naming it. also YOU CANT STOP ME FROM DOING IT BWAHAHAHAHAHA)

[–] UntouchedWagons@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

Some of my repos on github use either main or master.
