Branching Guide

We will have the following branches in the corefx repository:

• master

• Where most development happens

• Submit your PRs here unless you are adding API to a type that exists in the full .NET Framework

• release/[name]

• Release branches snapped from master.

• Do not submit pull requests to these branches

• Fixes here do not flow to follow-up releases

• Generally, fixes after a snap needing to make it in to a release will go in to master and get cherry-picked to the release branch.

• dev/[name]

• Features (aka topics) under active development by more than one developer.

• Submit PRs here only if you've made prior arrangements to work on something in one of these branches.

• It is up to the developers creating these branches to decide what level of review is required

• These features will only ship if they are successfully pulled to master or future via the standard PR and API review process.
