Noun · Hacker Culture
Definitions
The habits and norms a team has around developing work in separate feature branches before merging. Feature branch culture influences review timing, merge pain, visibility of work, and whether long-lived branches are treated as normal or dangerous.
In plain English: The culture around using feature branches in development.
Example: "Their feature branch culture improved once branches stayed small and short-lived instead of becoming private universes that reappeared weeks later in impossible merge requests."
