## Trunk-Based Development: Key Points | |
1. **Single Main Branch**: All developers commit to the trunk or main branch. | |
2. **Short-Lived Branches**: Branches, if used, are short-lived and quickly merged back. | |
3. **Frequent Integrations**: Code changes are integrated frequently, often multiple times a day. | |
4. **Feature Flags**: Incomplete features are managed with feature flags to maintain trunk stability. | |
## Benefits | |
- **Reduced Integration Problems**: Early conflict detection and resolution. | |
- **Higher Code Quality**: Continuous testing ensures stable and high-quality code. | |
- **Simpler Workflow**: Less overhead managing branches and merges. | |
- **Enhanced Collaboration**: Encourages teamwork and code reviews. | |
## Challenges | |
- **Discipline Required**: Developers must write clean, well-tested code. | |
- **Handling Incomplete Features**: Requires careful use of feature flags. | |
## Best Practices | |
- **Frequent Commits**: Small, incremental changes reduce integration risks. | |
- **Comprehensive Testing**: Automated tests for codebase coverage. | |
- **Feature Flags**: Manage incomplete or experimental features. | |
- **Code Reviews**: Maintain quality and knowledge sharing. | |
