I'm using git-flow for my codebase, and we are really happy. Yet, there's a conceptual problem with the support branch.
I've a support branch for the version 1.x . Sometimes I've to apply hotfix, or create a new release (feature is very unlikely).
- Is there a way to create a release from a support branch that is merged only in the support branch? (basically i would like to have the same
git flowcommands but based on thesupportbranch rather than themasterone.) - Is there a way to create an hotfix and have it applied to the support branch (i guess here is a matter of cerrypicking, since the code diverges a lot usually)
- Is this the correct way to mantain a LTS version?
