This is what is used where I work. I have never and will never understand why.
Feel like lawful evil fits better for master
Moab is “mouth over anus & balls”.
Even better

qa.
All development happens in feature branches. Someone other than the original developer needs to build and test the feature on our development servers. If successful it gets merged into qa, where it gets built and tested against it qa servers. Production build are tags on qa.

Main is QA. Production is release branches.
It's goshujin-sama
What about joe? Because the engineer who bootstrapped the project mistakenly put his name as the mainline branch and we realized it far too late during the lifecycle and the team decided to keep the branch name because it's hilarious.
Joe who?
Joe mama
up until i saw this post i always called it "main"
it's sure as hell going to be "mommy" now

Why would you name a branch just 7 asterisks?
Develop
Chaotic Evil should be the current sha hash.
Evolution names like "mammal".

Boring answer: older repos are master, newer ones are main. I've worked at companies that did other things such as having the prod branch be a branch called prod.
develop
It's master3. Don't question it!
Branch on every commit. Never delete. If something needs to be rolled back, merge it back into HEAD. Conflict resolution only through melee combat.

Wrestle with Jeff, Prepare for death.
Never merge. Only cherry pick.
You have met every team I have ever worked with apparently
How have you survived in this world without exploding into a million little fiery merge conflicts?
I let the interns handle those. If they survive, they get bragging rights.
prod
I like prod because it makes less assumptions on stability. It is what is being used, good luck with the rest.
Hey Linus did you merge my branch into mommy? I really want to get it out.
“live” didn’t make it onto the list, I see.
It's dead, Jim.
Looks like it died.
Live and let die?
🤡 for master
👽 for test
💩 for dev
belay your panic. even mommy cannot save you.
"testing"

Production made me lol
it's a one way ticket to having "who's on first?" problems

"fuck it, it''s friday"
nowadays, mommy
Uhh, Daddy, obviously.
I only push and pull daddy.
Wait shit this is programming so i could probably push and pull mommy too.
Both are great!
I’d npm run watch you git push origin daddy
release
we use git-flow in our company. So release is already another branch.
