Git branching model for continuous delivery 

The purpose of writing code is to ship enhancements to your software. A branching model that introduces too much process overhead does not help in increasing the speed with which you can get changes out to customers. It is therefore important to come up with a branching model that gives you enough padding to not ship poor-quality changes but at the same time not introduce too many processes to slow you down. The internet is full of branching strategies for Git; while there is no right or wrong, a perfect branching strategy is one that works for your team! In this recipe, we'll learn how to use a combination of feature branches and pull requests to always have a ready-to-ship master branch and how to sync bug fixes fixed in fix of fail branches back into master to avoid regression.
