Universal Containers (UC) is considering updating their Salesforce Release Management process.

Maintaining separate developer branches for minor and major releases, maintaining a single repository for applications with individual branches for projects, and maintaining a single-entry point for production from the master branch are three best practices that UC should consider for version control. These practices help to:

Isolate and manage different types of changes in separate branches, such as bug fixes, enhancements, or new features1.

Organize and track the code and configuration for each application and project in a logical and consistent way2.

Ensure that the master branch reflects the current state of production and that only tested and approved changes are deployed to production
