What is the deployment process from the main branch to production?

The deployment process from the main branch to production involves several steps to ensure a smooth transition of code and features from development to the live environment. Firstly, developers merge their code from their respective branches into the main branch, ensuring all conflicts are resolved. Next, the main branch is built and tested in an integration environment to identify any issues or bugs. Once the code passes all necessary tests, it is packaged into a release build. This build is then deployed to the production environment, either manually or through automated tools like continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. Finally, the production environment is thoroughly tested to validate that the deployment was successful and that all functionalities are working correctly. Monitoring and rollback mechanisms are also put in place to handle any issues that may arise during or after the deployment process.
