Branch conventions

We use the following version conventions for branch management.

Once a year we create a new branch from the uyuni-docs master branch for the SUSE Manager major release.

Major version release process

Procedure: Major release branch conventions

1. Create a new branch from master for the major release.

   Example

   # For major releases
   
   git checkout master
   
   git fetch --all
   
   git pull -ff
   
   git checkout -b manager-x.y
   # For example: manager-4.5

Maintenance version release process (minor release)

1. To create a maintenance update (minor release) create a new branch from the target major branch. (For example manager-4.3)

   Example

   # For minor releases
   
   git checkout manager-x.y
   # For example: manager-4.3
   
   git pull
   
   git checkout -b manager-x.y-MU-x.y.z
   # For example: manager-4.3-MU-4.3.5
