Does anybody actually use trunk based development in their company?
(trunkbaseddevelopment.com)
I've heard it thrown around in professional circles and how everybody's doing it wrong, so.. who actually does use it?
For smaller teams
"scaled" trunk based development
We do, for two 2-3 person projects, where no code reviews are done. This is mostly because (a) it's "just" a rewrite and (b) most new functionality is small and well-defined. For bigger features a local branch is checked out and then merged back later. Commits are always up-to-date, which makes it much easier to test integration of new featues.
Is this with git or svn?
Anti Commercial-AI license
With git. Every time we start work, we pull. After every commit, we push (and pull/merge/rebase) if necessary.
Wait, you push to main directly? That's not exactly what "trunk based" means.
The image even calls it like that
Some things don't have good CI/tests, so it doesn't make sense to include the build step, especially on a small team where we trust each other. But yes, it's not good practice, and we don't do this on every project, but sometimes it's necessary to adjust the flow to the specific project
