GitFlow and GitHub Flow
GitFlow is a branching model for Git, created by Vincent Driessen. It aims to provide a consistent and easy-to-use branching model for teams working on software projects. The GitFlow model uses two main branches: develop
and master
. The develop
branch is used to develop new features, while the master
branch represents the current production-ready state of the code base. There are also several supporting branches, such as feature
, release
, and hotfix
, which are used to manage the process of developing, releasing, and maintaining software.
GitHub Flow is a model that was developed by and for GitHub for use with its hosting and collaboration platform. It is similar to GitFlow, but it is designed to be simpler and easier to use, especially for smaller teams and projects. In the GitHub Flow model, all development is done in branches, and new features are merged into the master
branch using pull requests. There is no separate develop
branch, and the master
