Maintain a Bug History ?

[Pookfeb123]

Using Visual Studio 2015 Professional linked to Bitbucket. I have created a new branch to deal with bug issues - when these have been dealt with , the branch will be deleted.

If , at a later date , can another developer go back and see what the bugs were and how they were fixed (bug + solution history) ?

Hello @Pookfeb123,

Welcome to the Community.

when these have been dealt with , the branch will be deleted.

If by this you mean that your branch will be merged into master (or some other branch in your repository) and deleted afterwards, then yes, another developer will be able to find your commits in the history since they will be reachable from that other branch (master in my example).

They will be able to see the diff you applied. It is also a good habit to provide a sensible commit message so that they can also understand why the change was made. And, obviously, sensible comments in the code also help much.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers,
Daniil
