# Git Workflow for Cloudron Packaging
## 🌿 Branch Strategy
### Branch Hierarchy
```
master (production-ready packages)
↑ merge after validation
integration (staging for multiple packages)
↑ merge after individual testing
feature/package-[appname] (individual development)
↑ create from master
```
### Branch Purposes
#### `master` - Production Branch
- **Purpose**: Stable, tested, production-ready packages
- **Protection**: All commits must come via pull request from `integration`
- **Quality Gate**: Packages must be fully tested and validated
- **Release Cadence**: Weekly merges from integration after validation
#### `integration` - Staging Branch
- **Purpose**: Integration testing of multiple packages together
- **Source**: Merges from individual `feature/package-*` branches
- **Testing**: Cross-package compatibility and integration testing
- **Duration**: Packages stay here for 1-3 days for validation
#### `feature/package-[appname]` - Development Branches
- **Purpose**: Individual application packaging development
- **Naming**: `feature/package-jenkins`, `feature/package-apisix`, etc.
- **Lifespan**: Created from `master`, merged to `integration`, then deleted
- **Scope**: Single application focus, complete package development
#### `hotfix/[appname]-[issue]` - Emergency Fixes
- **Purpose**: Critical fixes to existing packages
- **Source**: Created from `master`
- **Target**: Merge directly to `master` after testing
- **Examples**: `hotfix/jenkins-security-update`
