DevOps with GIT(Flow) Jenkins, Artifactory, Sonar, ELK, JIRA - Create a Bugfix Release and Start and Finish a BugFix Rel

The video tutorial explains the process of handling a bug fix release using Git flow. It covers creating a hotfix branch from the master branch, making necessary code changes, and deploying the changes to QA for testing. The tutorial also discusses tagging the hotfix for production and managing merge conflicts before closing the hotfix branch. The development team continues working on new features while the hotfix is being processed.

What is the primary reason for creating a hotfix branch?

• To delete old code

• To merge branches

• To fix a bug in production

• To add new features

Which branch is a hotfix usually based on?

• Release

• Develop

• Feature

• Master

What version number is typically assigned to a hotfix?

• Major version

• Alpha version

• Patch version

• Minor version

What is the purpose of pushing a hotfix to QA?

• To test new features

• To verify the bug fix

• To merge with the master branch

• To delete old branches

What is the next step after QA approves the hotfix?

• Create a new hotfix

• Deploy to production

• Merge with develop

• Delete the hotfix branch

What should be done before closing a hotfix branch?

• Add new features to the hotfix

• Delete the master branch

• Ensure master and develop branches are up to date

• Create a new feature branch

What is a common cause of merge conflicts during a hotfix?

• Lack of documentation

• Unrelated code changes

• Version number discrepancies

• Different code styles

Why is it important to keep the develop branch at a different version than the hotfix?

• To reduce code size

• To prevent code deletion

• To continue feature development

• To avoid merge conflicts

What is the benefit of automating the deployment process?

• Eliminates manual work

• Slows down the deployment

• Reduces errors in code

• Increases manual work

What is the final step in the hotfix process?

• Deploy to production

• Close the hotfix branch

• Merge with the release branch

• Create a new feature branch
