Repositories Branching and Dates

Branches Creation

• To create git branches, please look on this tutorial from KDE TechBase.

• During GoSC2012 coding time, git/master will still the stable implementation receiving important fixes. A development branch must be sync with git/master periodically. To do it, see below as example how to sync digiKam 3.0.0 branch :

$>git checkout development/3.0.0.
  Branch development/3.0.0 set up to track remote branch development/3.0.0 from origin.
  Switched to a new branch 'development/3.0.0'
$> git rebase master
  First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it...
  Applying: ...
$>git pull
  Merge made by recursive.
$>git push
  ...
