## Style Guides
### Repository Structure
OpenZFS uses a standardised branching structure.
- The "development and main branch", is the branch all development should be based on.
- "Release branches" contain the latest released code for said version.
- "Staging branches" contain selected commits prior to being released.
**Branch Names:**
- Development and Main branch: `master`
- Release branches: `zfs-$VERSION-release`
- Staging branches: `zfs-$VERSION-staging`
`$VERSION` should be replaced with the `major.minor` version number.
_(This is the version number without the `.patch` version at the end)_
