Git

Git is a version control system(VCS) for tracking changes in computer files and coordinating work on those files among multiple people.

Development mode

1. master
   1. origin/master should be the main branch where the source code of HEAD always reflects a production-ready state.
   2. Should be restrict about this, and could use a Git hook script to automatically build and roll-out our software to our production servers every time there was a commit on master.
2. develop
   1. origin/develop should be the main main branch where the source code of HEAD always reflects a state with the latest delivered development changes for the next release.
3. feature branches
   1. Feature branches are used to develop new features for the upcoming or a distant future release.(branch off from develop, and merge back to develop, naming convention)
4. release branches
5. hotfix branches

Keep the file while not being tracked by git:

1. First change the file you do not want to be tracked and use the following command:

git update-index --assume-unchanged FILE_NAME

1. if you want to track the changes again use this command:

git update-index --no-assume-unchanged FILE_NAME
