#^Trunk Based Development - Game Changers

Since the early 80’s a number of things have pushed best practices towards Trunk-Based Development, or away from it.

The language in use to describe such things has changed over time. Software Configuration Management (SCM) is used less today than Version Control Systems (VCS) is. A simpler still term - “Source Control” - seems to be used more recently, too.

Similarly, ‘trunk’ and ‘branch’, have not always been used as terms for controlled code lines that have a common ancestor, and are eminently (and repeatably) mergeable.
