+# Git Branching
+
+The following is a slightly modified version of the gitflow branching strategy described in <https://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/>
+
+## Main Branches
+
+- **master** - `master` is the main branch where the source code of HEAD always reflects a production-ready state.
+- **develop** - `develop` is the branch where the source code of HEAD always reflects a state with the latest delivered development changes for the next release.
+- **next** - `next` may contain consensus-breaking changes for a future release.
+- **release/X.Y.Z.A.n** is the release branch.
+
+When the source code in the develop branch reaches a stable point and is ready to be released, a release branch is created as `release/X.Y.Z.A.n` (see [release-process.md](./release-process.md)).
+After release, the following will happen:
+
+- `release/X.Y.Z.A.n` branch is merged back to `master`.
+- `master` is then merged into `develop`, and development continues in the `develop` branch.
+- `develop` is then merged into `next`.
+
+## Supporting Branches
+
+Branch names should use a prefix that conveys the overall goal of the branch.
+All branches should be based off of `develop`, with the exception being a hotfix branch which may be based off of `master`.
+
+- `feat/some-fancy-new-thing`: For new features.
+- `fix/some-broken-thing`: For hot fixes and bug fixes.
+- `chore/some-update`: Any non code related change (ex: updating CHANGELOG.md, adding comments to code).
+- `docs/something-needs-a-comment`: For documentation.
+- `ci/build-changes`: For continuous-integration changes.
+- `test/more-coverage`: For branches that only add more tests.
+- `refactor/formatting-fix`: For refactors of the codebase.
+
+The full branch name **must**:
+
+- Have a maximum of 128 characters.
+- Only includes ASCII lowercase and uppercase letters, digits, underscores, periods and dashes.
