Application lifecycle management shouldn’t enforce existing IT and software delivery environments; the idea is to integrate as many tools and processes as possible into a unified workflow. The ALM journey continues forward, and, as technical and process trends come and go, the core principles are perhaps more relevant than ever.

How do we use Stash/Bit Bucket Server for our product development?

Dear Experts,

Need your expter advice in setting up a new repository structure for our product development.

We have a software product, with 15-compnents and each of the 15-components have at least 15-modules.

Earlier our admin guy had configured the Stash server for us.

The current setup is like this:
Our IT engineer had created 15-Projects in stash/bitbucket server for 15-Components
For each of the 15-modules in a given component, a individual repository was created

Thus we have around 225 + 25(for additional module), totally 250 repositories to manage.

Individual developers creates their feature branches on their respective repositories and merge them to their production branch in their respective repo, after release.

Feature branches gets created only on a particular module in a particular repository which is getting affected for that feature.

Does use of Bitbucket necessarily require distributed CM?

My company is replacing Source Safe.  For some reason Bitbucket has been selected. This is likely because we use other Atlassian tools.

My question is, does use of Bitbuck require that a distributed CM model be in place?

Thanks in advance,

Steve
