DevOps with GIT(Flow) Jenkins, Artifactory, Sonar, ELK, JIRA - Finish Release

The video tutorial covers the process of managing a software release using Git and Sourcetree. It begins with updating the version on the develop branch after a major release to prevent snapshot issues. The tutorial then guides through closing the major release, ensuring the latest code is fetched and pulled from the master and develop branches. It addresses handling merge conflicts, particularly on the develop branch, and updating the master branch to reflect the latest release version. Finally, it concludes with finalizing the release and preparing for future changes.

Why is it important to update the version on the develop branch immediately after creating a major release?

• To reset the develop branch

• To ensure the release branch is not affected by snapshot versions

• To notify other developers of the release

• To archive the current version

What should be done to prevent snapshot version issues on the release branch?

• Merge the develop branch into master

• Push changes to the develop branch

• Create a new release branch

• Delete the develop branch

Before closing down a release, what is crucial to ensure?

• The latest code is fetched from both master and develop branches

• All developers are notified

• The release branch is deleted

• The develop branch is archived

What is a common issue encountered when closing down a major release?

• Merge conflicts

• Version mismatch

• Branch deletion

• Code duplication

What should the master branch represent after a release is finalized?

• The production code based on the last release

• A snapshot of the develop branch

• A backup of the develop branch

• An experimental codebase

What version should the master branch be updated to after a release?

• The version incremented after the release from the release branch

• The same version as the develop branch

• The initial version number

• A random version number

What is the final step in the release process?

• Updating the master branch and preparing for the next changes

• Deleting the develop branch

• Notifying all developers

• Archiving the release branch
