Feature Branch

A branch created to develop a specific feature or fix in isolation before merging it back into the main branch.

Definition

Short-lived feature branches merged via pull requests work well with CI. Long-lived branches increase merge conflict risk and delay integration.

Example

feature/add-netconf-client is merged after two days of work.

Exam tip

Keep feature branches short-lived to preserve the benefits of continuous integration.
