Base branch - your own temporary dev branch

With Git Barber, declare a base branch for a big feature. Treat this branch as you would treat your repository's main development branch: Only merge reviewed changes to the base branch

Sub branches - small, manageable changes

A sub branch is pretty much a normal branch. It can be a direct child of the base branch, or can be deeply nested within it. The goal is to create a separate sub branch for each atomic change you make, resulting in many small changes that can be easily reviewed by separate people.

Stay in sync with the dev branch

One of the biggest pain points of nesting branches is the difficulty of merging changes from the main branch down through the nested branches. Git Barber solves this by providing a

git-barber sync

command, which will merge changes from your branch of choice to all of its nested sub branches.
