+[8 years ago]multifractalOr should they each have their own repo? +[8 years ago]multifractalI would like to be able to make incremental updates to each thing1, thing2..., and not risk destroying them. +[8 years ago]multifractalAs far as I can tell, if there was a repo BIG_PROJ with branches for thing1, thing2, thing3... each of the thingi's would need sub-branches of their own, to maintain version control. Is this correct +[8 years ago]multifractalWait no that's not correct -- I could just have a main (stable) branch for BIG_PROJ and then a development branch where I work on each thing_i as and when I need to. When I'm confident that they work, I can merge it back to the stable BIG_PROJ branch. Correct? +[8 years ago]multifractalThat is to say -- it's not good practice to make branches for different features of the project. Rather branches should reflect different levels of the development cycle - stable, dev, release, etc.?
