git flow release start is off master

[romk1n]

Hi,

I don't understand what the problem but when i execute git flow release start 1.0 the message says

Switched to a new branch 'release/1.0'

Summary of actions:
- A new branch 'release/1.0' was created, based on 'master'
- You are now on branch 'release/1.0'

Follow-up actions:
- Bump the version number now!
- Start committing last-minute fixes in preparing your release
- When done, run:

     git flow release finish '1.0'

From what i understand it should be off develop

What can be the problem and how to debug it and fix it?

The release command will create a release branch in order to prepare for release.
You can fix some micro bugs in this branch before finishing it - merging into master and develop branch.
The develop branch is useful for basing other feature branchs.
