Follow a branching strategy

You MUST implement a branching strategy that fits your team's needs. A clear strategy helps minimise risks like introducing bugs or conflicts. While Trunk-Based Development is RECOMMENDED, select the approach best suited to your project.

Your branching strategy MUST:

• Define a consistent branch naming convention. See the Azure DevOps handbook for details.

• Be documented in the project's README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md file or team wiki.
