Streams
Using a set of streams has advantages over using a set traditional branches. As your organization develops and releases its products, change propagates across a stream hierarchy according to Flow rules that guide merge and copy actions to support stability and innovation.
A stream:
- Resides in a stream depot.
- Can be used to manage files in a way that resembles branches, but with additional functionality and structure.
- Is ideal for implementing the The mainline model, which includes multiple Stream types.
- Eliminates much of the administrative work needed to define branches, create workspaces, and manage merges.
- Enables the generation of stream view for associated workspaces, so you don't need to update views manually.
