The repository is structured as follows:
```
main (default branch)
central (main branch)
|
├── twilight (beta testing branch)
|--- twiligth (feature branch)
| |
|-> \-- stable (release branch)
| |
| \--- Hotfix (hotfixes directly from stable)
|
├── alpha (stable branch)
|
└── ... (other branches)
\--- (features branches)
```
You, as a contributor, should create a pull request to the `main` branch. The pull request will be reviewed and merged into the `twilight` branch. After the beta testing phase, the `twilight` branch will be merged into the `stable` branch.
The `central` branch is the main branch of the repository, and it is the default branch for the repository. The `twilight` branch is the feature branch, and it is branched off from the `central` branch. The `stable` branch is the release branch, and it is branched off from the `central` branch.
This way, we can push changes to the `stable` branch with quick fixes without having new features that are not tested yet, in case an emergency fix is needed.
The `stable` branch may have hotfixes directly from the `stable` branch, and the `twilight` branch may have feature branches branched off from the `twilight` branch. This is done so that we can apply hotfixes like security patches directly to the `stable` branch without having to merge the changes from the `twilight` branch.
