| Terminology | |
| *********** | |
| - mainline: The main tree where the core functionality and core features are | |
| being developed. | |
| - subsystem/feature branch: is a branch within the same repository. In our case, | |
| we will use the term branch also when referencing branches not in the same | |
| repository, which are a copy of a repository sharing the same history. | |
| - upstream: A parent branch the source code is based on. This is the branch you | |
| pull from and push to, basically your upstream. | |
| - LTS: Long Term Support |
