Branches

Branches should be named in the following way:

1. Branch type first, followed by a hyphen (-):

   • dev Branches containing big feature changes. They should belong to one person, and should be linked to an issue.
   • wip Work in progress branches. This may include small changes affecting the dev ones. They should be used, only when an auxiliary branch is needed (ie: unstable changes for a given dev branch).
   • rel Unique release branch, the one where everything should work.

2. Feature identifier (snake_case): What will this branch bring to the project
