Adopt trunk-based development and continuous integration

Trunk-Based Development simplifies source control by deploying directly from the trunk branch (e.g., main or master). You SHOULD adopt this approach where feasible, as it minimises the complexity of managing long-lived branches.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

• Write a comprehensive suite of automated tests to keep branches deployable.

• Aim for continuous integration and frequent deployments from the trunk.

When to Consider Alternatives:

If your project requires extensive experimentation or long-term feature development, ensure robust practices for merging changes from feature branches.
