The Yocto Project files are maintained using Git in a "master" branch whose Git history
tracks every change and whose structure provides branches for all diverging functionality.
Although there is no need to use Git, many open source projects do so.
For the Yocto Project, a key individual called the "maintainer" is responsible for "master"
branch of the Git repository.
For the Yocto Project, a key individual called the "maintainer" is responsible for the "master"
branch of the Git repository.
The "master" branch is the “upstream” repository where the final builds of the project occur.
The maintainer is responsible for allowing changes in from other developers and for
organizing the underlying branch structure to reflect release strategies and so forth.
<note>You can see who is the maintainer for Yocto Project files by examining the
