Chapter 10. Development Codelines

As you read in Chapter 7, development codelines provide a place to check in incremental work on projects without destabilizing the mainline. In this chapter, we look at creating development codelines, working in development codelines, keeping development codelines up to date, and delivering completed development work into parent codelines.

With the exception of the mainline, every codeline has a parent; the parent is the codeline it was branched from.
