question regarding git branches

[jgh at FreeBSD.org]

Hi,

I am a little late to the dance with git in respect to FreeBSD (haven't 
been following as much as I would like to given availability), but have 
been using it for awhile now at work and personally. With the recent 
migration from svn to git for documentation I saw that there was only 
one branch named "main." I think this is great that we also went with 
this name.

My question more so is around workflow. Typically, it is seen as good 
practice to commit to a new branch and then merge to the main branch. Is 
this something that is being done as part of the commit process, or are 
commits being done straight to main branch?

I'm not sure I need to go into the reasoning of having multiple branches 
and what that can do insofar as community and mentoring support, 
development CI/CD pipelines, etc. If this conversation goes down this 
path, though, I would be more than happy to discuss along with others.

Thanks in advance!
