Continuous integration is better. Fight me
Nothing about continuous integration prevents you from using a branch to prepare your changes.
Yes, if you use feature branches its literally not continuous. It’s adjacent though.
Continuous Integration is a software development practice where each member of a team merges their changes into a codebase together with their colleagues changes at least daily
Meaning everything is in a version controlled mainline
People disagree about what CI is, but that’s the definition i subscribe to
So does everyone work directly on main all the time? Do all of you work on the same project or are there multiple with one person per project? How do you work around the broken code your coworker just pushed so you can finish your tasks?
Yea you always work on main on the same project.
You don’t push broken code. You always need to keep mainline healthy
It takes some special considerations, but the benefits are great.
so when something breaks both devs, the one who made the previous change and the person pushing new, have to work together to solve the issue? no PRs or is everything a fork? do you revert and rebase every change?
You revert the broken commit usually.

This is a good article on the topic
That doesn't stop you from removing your test commits before pushing
I personally make feature files. So if i'm working on FactorySeederModemLookupVector.ts someone elses could work on ☝️🥵🙏.php without bothering each other. Tho, my collabs have been ones with a LOT of communication.
