Main and develop branches are diverging

[Penaz91]

From a cursory examination, it seems that the main and develop branches are diverging slightly.

This may be an issue when merging is involved, so I think it may be wise to realign the two branches while they can still be merged automatically.

Hello !
Could you elaborate a little more ? I think I do not understand your point

I think you are saying that develop is something like 9 commits ahead from main. If so, here is an explanation :

I have chosen to follow the Git Flow organization :

main is the current release branch. This can be considered as the "stable" version of the application, available for all users. This a way to provide hotfix for the version of the app that is deployed on app stores without having to do weird and hard-to-follow git manipulation.

develop is the next release branch. This branch contains all the feature that will be shipped with the next release of the application. This allows beta-testers to report bug before releasing the app to everyone and needing to create a hotfix.

When I print the repository graph, I do not see any problem :

# git log --graph --pretty --abbrev-commit --oneline

*   dd300c6 (tag: 0.0.1, origin/main, origin/HEAD, main) Release 0.0.1 (#5)

User willing to contribute have to create their branch based on develop if they create a feature, a bugfix or whatever that must not be immediately released to everyone.

Was it your point ? I know I have to update CONTRIBUTING.MD to include these explanation but #6 is taking a lot of my compute time haha !

It seems it has been a misreading on my end. From what I saw it looked like !17 was merged into main but not devel, hence my question.

I wonder if it was a caching issue or something, since things look different now. 🤦

Sorry for raising an undue warning.
