🌿 Branching Strategy

Cherry Studio implements a structured branching strategy to maintain code quality and streamline the development process.

Main Branches

  • main: Main development branch

    • Contains the latest development code
    • Direct commits are not allowed - changes must come through pull requests
    • Code may contain features in development and might not be fully stable
  • release/*: Release branches

    • Created from main branch
    • Contains stable code ready for release
    • Only accepts documentation updates and bug fixes
    • Thoroughly tested before production deployment

For details about the testplan branch used in the Test Plan, please refer to the Test Plan.

    • Submit PR back to main
  2. Bug Fix Branches:

Pull Request Guidelines

  • All PRs should be submitted to the main branch unless fixing a critical production issue
  • Ensure your branch is up to date with the latest main changes before submitting
  • Include relevant issue numbers in your PR description
  • Make sure all tests pass and code meets our quality standards
  • Add before/after screenshots if you add a new feature or modify a UI component

Version Tag Management
