I'm quite new to git. For a project I use git with a dev branch. If it get's stable, it is merged to master.
Now I have to maintain different versions of the software. (for example v1.0 and v2.0) What is the best way to handle a hotfix for the old version v1.0? I know, I can create a hotfix branch. But what to do after that? Should I maintain this hotfix branch forever or is it better to merge the hotfix somehow into the master branch? Currently I have to integrate a hotfix for v1.0. It's about a feature, which was removed in v2.0. So I think it's not a good idea to merge it back to master. But is it really a good idea to maintain a long running branch for every version? For tips, I am grateful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
