Feature Branches And Toggles In A Post-GitHub World
•
2 recomendaciones•1,206 vistas
During the evolution of the ideas behind Continuous Delivery, many of us came to the conclusion that having branches for features was not a good idea, and resulted in some fairly problematic issues. This was contentious at the time, with lots of discussion around whether or not feature toggles or feature branching was the right way forward. Roll on several years, and through Git and GitHub, branches are everywhere. Is this a problem? This talk re-examines the role of feature branches and feature toggles, and looks at them in the context of new research and technology to try and distill down some sensible lessons in a post-GitHub, but hopefully not post-factual, world.

- 115. @samnewman@devoxxpl Goal Merge a patch in less than 3 seconds
- 116. @samnewman@devoxxpl Branches much more lightweight
- 117. @samnewman@devoxxpl Merging of text is better but…
- 119. @samnewman@devoxxpl And then there was GitHub…
- 125. @samnewman@devoxxpl But PRs use branching!
- 128. @samnewman@devoxxpl And then there was gitflow…

- 134. @samnewman@devoxxpl “Trunk-based development is likely the most controversial practice discussed in this book
- 135. @samnewman@devoxxpl “Trunk-based development is likely the most controversial practice discussed in this book - Gene Kim, Jez Humble, Patrick Debois & John Willis […] However, the data from Puppet Labs’ 2015 State of DevOps Report is clear: trunk-based development predicts higher throughput and better stability, and even higher job satisfaction and lower rates of burnout.“

- 137. @samnewman@devoxxpl “We found that having branches or forks with very short lifetimes (less than a day) before being merged into trunk, and less than three active branches in total, are important aspects of continuous delivery, and all contribute to higher performance. So does merging code into trunk or master on a daily basis. “ - State Of Devops Report, 2016
- 138. @samnewman@devoxxpl So are branches evil?
