Trunk-Based Development

Also written as Trunk Based, Short-Lived Branches

A branching approach where everyone merges small changes into the main branch at least daily, instead of maintaining long-running feature branches.

Think of it like

Adding to a shared document continuously rather than everyone editing private copies and merging at the end.

Junior or senior?

Correlates strongly with mature delivery practice.

Senior sounds like

Connects it to feature flags and testing, because it doesn't work without them.

Ask them

“How did you ship unfinished work safely on the main branch?”
