+# Git Branches in CSIT
+
+## Overview
+
+This document describes how to create and remove git branches in CSIT project.
+
+To be able to perform everything described in this file, you must be **logged
+in as a committer**.
+
+## Operational Branches
+
+For more information about operational branches see
+[CSIT/Branching Strategy](https://wiki.fd.io/view/CSIT/Branching_Strategy) and
+[CSIT/Jobs](https://wiki.fd.io/view/CSIT/Jobs) on
+[fd.io](https://fd.io) [wiki](https://wiki.fd.io/view/CSIT) pages.
+
+> Note: The branch `rls2009_lts` is used here only as an example.
+
+### Pre-requisites
+
+1. The last builds of weekly and semiweekly jobs must finish with status
+ *"Success"*.
+1. If any of watched jobs failed, try to find the root cause, fix it and run it
+ again.
+
+The watched jobs are:
+
+- master:
+ - [csit-vpp-device-master-ubuntu1804-1n-skx-weekly](https://jenkins.fd.io/view/csit/job/csit-vpp-device-master-ubuntu1804-1n-skx-weekly)
+ - [csit-vpp-device-master-ubuntu1804-1n-skx-semiweekly](https://jenkins.fd.io/view/csit/job/csit-vpp-device-master-ubuntu1804-1n-skx-semiweekly)
+- 2009_lts:
+ - [csit-vpp-device-2009_lts-ubuntu1804-1n-skx-weekly](https://jenkins.fd.io/view/csit/job/csit-vpp-device-2009_lts-ubuntu1804-1n-skx-weekly)
+ - [csit-vpp-device-2009_lts-ubuntu1804-1n-skx-semiweekly](https://jenkins.fd.io/view/csit/job/csit-vpp-device-2009_lts-ubuntu1804-1n-skx-semiweekly)
+
+### Procedure
+
+**A. CSIT Operational Branch**
+1. Take the revision string from the last successful build of the **weekly**
+ job, e.g. **Revision**: 0f9b20775b4a656b67c7039e2dda4cf676af2b21.
+1. Open [Gerrit](https://gerrit.fd.io).
+1. Go to
+ [Browse --> Repositories --> csit --> Branches](https://gerrit.fd.io/r/admin/repos/csit,branches).
+1. Click `CREATE NEW`.
+1. Fill in the revision number and the name of the new operational branch. Its
+ format is: `oper-YYMMDD` for master and `oper-rls{RELEASE}-{YYMMDD}` or
+ `oper-rls{RELEASE}_lts-{YYMMDD}` for release branches.
+1. Click "CREATE".
+1. If needed, delete old operational branches by clicking "DELETE".
+
+**B. VPP Stable version**
+1. Open the console log of the last successful **semiweekly** build and search
+ for VPP version (e.g. vpp_21 ...).
+1. You should find the string with this structure:
+ `vpp_21.01-rc0~469-g7acab3790~b368_amd64.deb`
+1. Modify [VPP_STABLE_VER_UBUNTU_BIONIC](../../VPP_STABLE_VER_UBUNTU_BIONIC)
+ and [VPP_STABLE_VER_CENTOS](../../VPP_STABLE_VER_CENTOS) files.
+1. Use a string with the build number, e.g. `21.01-rc0~469_g7acab3790~b129`
+ for [VPP_STABLE_VER_CENTOS](../../VPP_STABLE_VER_CENTOS) and a string
+ without the build number, e.g. `21.01-rc0~469_g7acab3790` for
+ [VPP_STABLE_VER_UBUNTU_BIONIC](../../VPP_STABLE_VER_UBUNTU_BIONIC).
+1. Update the stable versions in master and in all LTS branches.
+
+## Release Branches
+
+> Note: VPP release 21.01 is used here only as an example.
+
+### Pre-requisites
+
+1. VPP release manager sends the information email to announce that the RC1
+ milestone for VPP {release}, e.g. 21.01, is complete, and the artifacts are
+ available.
+1. The artifacts (*.deb and *.rpm) should be available at
+ `https://packagecloud.io/fdio/{release}`. For example see artifacts for the
+ [VPP release 20.01](https://packagecloud.io/fdio/2101). The last available
+ build is to be used.
+1. All CSIT patches for the release are merged in CSIT master branch.
+
+### Procedure
+
+**A. Release branch**
+
+1. Open [Gerrit](https://gerrit.fd.io).
+1. Go to
+ [Browse --> Repositories --> csit --> Branches](https://gerrit.fd.io/r/admin/repos/csit,branches).
+1. Save the revision string of master for further use.
+1. Click `CREATE NEW`.
+1. Fill in the revision number and the name of the new release branch. Its
+ format is: `rlsYYMM`, e.g. rls2101.
+1. Click "CREATE".
+
+**B. Jenkins jobs**
+
+See ["Add CSIT rls2101 branch"](https://gerrit.fd.io/r/c/ci-management/+/30439)
+and ["Add report jobs to csit rls2101 branch"](https://gerrit.fd.io/r/c/ci-management/+/30462)
+patches as an example.
+
+1. [csit.yaml](https://github.com/FDio/ci-management/blob/master/jjb/csit/csit.yaml):
+ Documentation of the source code and the Report
+ - Add release branch (rls2101) for `csit-docs-merge-{stream}` and
+ `csit-report-merge-{stream}` (project --> stream).
+1. [csit-perf.yaml](https://github.com/FDio/ci-management/blob/master/jjb/csit/csit-perf.yaml):
+ Verify jobs
+ - Add release branch (rls2101) to `project --> jobs -->
+ csit-vpp-perf-verify-{stream}-{node-arch} --> stream`.
+ - Add release branch (rls2101) to `project --> project: 'csit' --> stream`.
+ - Add release branch (rls2101) to `project --> project: 'csit' --> stream_report`.
+1. [csit-tox.yaml](https://github.com/FDio/ci-management/blob/master/jjb/csit/csit-tox.yaml):
+ tox
+ - Add release branch (rls2101) to `project --> stream`.
+1. [csit-vpp-device.yaml](https://github.com/FDio/ci-management/blob/master/jjb/csit/csit-vpp-device.yaml):
+ csit-vpp-device
+ - Add release branch (rls2101) to `project --> jobs (weekly / semiweekly) --> stream`.
+ - Add release branch (rls2101) to `project --> project: 'csit' --> stream`.
+
+**C. VPP Stable version**
+
+See the patch
+[Update of VPP_REPO_URL and VPP_STABLE_VER files](https://gerrit.fd.io/r/c/csit/+/30461)
+and / or
+[rls2101: Update VPP_STABLE_VER files to release version](https://gerrit.fd.io/r/c/csit/+/30976)
+as an example.
+
+1. Find the last successful build on the
+ [Package Cloud](https://packagecloud.io) for the release, e.g.
+ [VPP release 20.01](https://packagecloud.io/fdio/2101).
+1. Clone the release branch to your PC:
+ `git clone --depth 1 ssh://<user>@gerrit.fd.io:29418/csit --branch rls{RELEASE}`
+1. Modify [VPP_STABLE_VER_UBUNTU_BIONIC](../../VPP_STABLE_VER_UBUNTU_BIONIC)
+ and [VPP_STABLE_VER_CENTOS](../../VPP_STABLE_VER_CENTOS) files with the last
+ successful build.
+1. Modify [VPP_REPO_URL](../../VPP_REPO_URL) to point to the new release, e.g.
+ `https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/fdio/2101`.
+1. You can also modify the [.gitreview](../../.gitreview) file and set the new
+ default branch.
+1. Wait until the verify jobs
+ - [csit-vpp-device-2101-ubuntu1804-1n-skx](https://jenkins.fd.io/job/csit-vpp-device-2101-ubuntu1804-1n-skx)
+ - [csit-vpp-device-2101-ubuntu1804-1n-tx2](https://jenkins.fd.io/job/csit-vpp-device-2101-ubuntu1804-1n-tx2)
+
+ successfully finish and merge the patch.
+
+**D. CSIT Operational Branch**
+
+1. Manually start (Build with Parameters) the weekly job
+ [csit-vpp-device-2101-ubuntu1804-1n-skx-weekly](https://jenkins.fd.io/view/csit/job/csit-vpp-device-2101-ubuntu1804-1n-skx-weekly)
+1. When it successfully finishes, take the revision string e.g. **Revision**:
+ 876b6c1ae05bfb1ad54ff253ea021f3b46780fd4 to create a new operational branch
+ for the new release.
+1. Open [Gerrit](https://gerrit.fd.io).
+1. Go to
+ [Browse --> Repositories --> csit --> Branches](https://gerrit.fd.io/r/admin/repos/csit,branches).
+1. Click `CREATE NEW`.
+1. Fill in the revision number and the name of the new operational branch. Its
+ format is: `oper-rls{RELEASE}-YYMMDD` e.g. `oper-rls2101-201217`.
+1. Click "CREATE".
+1. Manually start (Build with Parameters) the semiweekly job
+ [csit-vpp-device-2101-ubuntu1804-1n-skx-semiweekly](https://jenkins.fd.io/view/csit/job/csit-vpp-device-2101-ubuntu1804-1n-skx-semiweekly)
+1. When it successfully finishes check in console log if it used the right VPP
+ version (search for `VPP_VERSION=`) from the right repository (search for
+ `REPO_URL=`).
+
+**E. Announcement**
+
+If everything is as it should be, send the announcement email to
+`csit-dev@lists.fd.io` mailing list.
+
+*Example:*
+
+Subject:
+```text
+CSIT rls2101 branch pulled out
+```
+
+Body:
+```text
+CSIT rls2101 branch [0] is created and fully functional.
+
+Corresponding operational branch (oper-rls2101-201217) has been created too.
+
+We are starting dry runs for performance ndrpdr iterative tests to get initial
+ndrpdr values with available rc1 packages as well as to test all the infra
+before starting report data collection runs.
