GitHub

What is git?

Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.

How are we structured?

We have a central repository on Github where each user must fork this repository to start the development of new sites/features. 
 
To publish the code in the main repository, it is needed to open a Pull Request where the Tech lead will approve, after the code passes by the tests made by Pipeline and after approval, the code is merged with the main repository. 
 
The development of the branch reflects in the dev environment while the test branch reflects in the test environment and the master branch is production.  
 
In the Prod environment, we have a few more steps to cover as to how to create a tag and deploy the tag manually inside Acquia site Factory
