  2. Branching And MergingAgenda • What are we trying to solve? • Basic branching patterns and scenarios • Branch by Release • Branch by Quality • Branch by Feature • What to consider when deciding on a strategy

  3. What problems does branching solve? • Release code when it is ready • Independent construction of features • Suspension of coding (code freeze) • Know what code is released

  4. Branching Patterns
