# Branching model
## Possible branch names
* `master`
* `develop`
* `$ID-$TITLE`
### `master`
Current productive version of a project resides on the `master` branch.
### `develop`
The upcoming productive version - current development version - resides on the `develop` branch. The `develop` branch is unnecessary in smaller projects when the development is not too fast.
The `master` branch needs to be updated with a fast forward merge after every release in projects that have a `develop` branch.
### `$ID-$TITLE`
Development of features, bugfixes or refactoring is done in branches referencing an issue that follow the naming convention `$ID-$TITLE` where `$ID` is the number of the issue and `$TITLE` is the sluggified title of the issue. The [issues](ISSUES.md) integration of GitLab has a feature that creates such a branch and an accompanying merge request.
