Trunk-based development is a software development practice where changes are integrated into the main codebase rapidly and frequently. It is considered an alternative to traditional feature branching, where developers work on isolated branches for extended periods of time. By promoting continuous integration and collaboration, trunk-based development seeks to improve code quality, reduce conflicts, and speed up the delivery of features. However, it requires careful management to avoid conflicts and ensure that changes are well-tested before merging. Atlassian offers a range of tools that support trunk-based development practices, including Bitbucket, Bamboo, and Jira software.
