Hi,

I am using git-repository along with gerrit server for code review, I want to create branches called "Integration" branch & "Release" branch

I got different projects which I need to integrate in "integrate" branch and give it to testing and once the bugs are fixed it should go to "release" branch.

Currently we are using master and private branches...

Please do help me with this issue, as it is critical...

And also can you suggest me what can I use for Continuous build system in Linux Fedora

What's stopping you? See git-checkout(1) for how to create branches.

See git-merge(1) et al for how to merge branches.

Please ask more specific questions if you'd like useful answers.

Buildbot? Any of the intersection between Google's results for "continuous integration" and "git". They're all good.

To Bharani: It sounds like you are using one repository for multiple projects. Git doesn't handle this use case very well.

I think he might need git-cherrypick for this use-case since you don't want to merge all of integration into release.
