Hey All,
I've read various git tutorials but still have some open questions
regarding how repositories & branches should be used.
Here's the situation i have:
I have a code base "A" which is maintained by external partner. I do
receive source code updates every few months for it.
Based on the code base "A" I've built another product "B" which I develop.
Then, I use product B as a base for my customers. But each customer has
it's own small adjustments. Therefore, I maintain separate code base for
each customer.
Visually it would look something like this:
A
|
B
/ / \ \
C D F G
Now to the problem:) Every time changes occurs on code base "A" or "B", I
have a daunting task to merge all changes to other code bases. I am looking
for a way how to leverage Git to ease this code merge task for me.
By reading tutorials, I learned a lot. But, still I have fundamental
question of how my repository/branch structure should look like. Here are
my questions:
- Do I need to have repository for each code base?
- If yes, how I can perform code merges between different
repositories?
- Should I have one repository with multiple branches?
- what should be my master branch? A or B?
- how should the merge performed? by using *rebase*?
- are branches stored on the separate folders?
- Is there another (better) way for solving the problem?
