Branch: Difference between revisions
Created page with "'''Branch''' is a development lab, initialized by OpenXP developers for making development more organized and consistent. Branches have different development structure and meaning, therefore their hierarchy is simpler and easier in plan of organization. == Structure == The topmost branch is <code>master</code>, which contains the latest changes and edits, which are mostly stable. <code>master</code> is the root branch, as others are deriving directly from it, containing..." |
