+ # dev - any one is free to create / push to / any experiment on this branch
+ # staging - it is the stage for all developer. all branchout and push over here.
+ *start point / fork point is staging, i.e. any fix/feature/improvement - you must start branching out from staging.
+
+ *better to name your branch with 'z-' , i.e. z-layout-footer-improvement (z-: identifier for temporary and safe to remove from the central repo -> then the file identifier -> then short info regarding the intent)
+ *many developers prefer feat/feature_name, i faced issue managing those branch using cli (bsd even alpine) for the slash(/) 
+## staging must have a automated test and deploy mechanism, so that developers can can always be on the same page regarding build/merge conflict issue
+# test - staging to test by tester
+# master - test to master by tester after full test 
+# release - master to release with version tag
