Overview

Establish efficient Git workflows that support team collaboration, code quality, and deployment readiness through structured branching strategies and merge patterns.

When to Use

Team collaboration setup
Release management
Feature development coordination
Hotfix procedures
Code review processes
CI/CD integration planning

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

# Initialize GitFlow
git flow init -d

# Start a feature
git flow feature start new-feature
# Work on feature
git add .
git commit -m "feat: implement new feature"
git flow feature finish new-feature

# Start a release
git flow release start 1.0.0
# Update version numbers, changelog

Best Practices

✅ DO

Choose workflow matching team size and release cycle
Keep feature branches short-lived (< 3 days)
Use descriptive branch names with type prefix
Require code review before merging to main
Enforce protection rules on main/release branches
Rebase frequently to minimize conflicts
Write atomic, logical commits
Keep commit messages clear and consistent

❌ DON'T

Commit directly to main branch
Create long-lived feature branches
Use vague branch names (dev, test, temp)
Merge without code review
Mix multiple features in one branch
Force push to shared branches
Ignore failing CI checks
Merge with merge commits in TBD
