Long-Lived Feature Branches
Branches that live for weeks or months, turning merging into a project in itself. The longer the branch, the bigger the risk.
Branching and Integration
Anti-patterns in how teams branch, merge, and integrate code that prevent continuous integration and delivery.

These anti-patterns affect how code flows from a developer’s machine to the shared trunk. They create painful merges, delayed integration, and broken builds that prevent the steady stream of small, verified changes that continuous delivery requires.
No Continuous Integration
The build has been red for weeks and nobody cares. “CI” means a build server exists, not that anyone actually integrates continuously.
