Git Flow

Git Flow is a structured method for managing software development using Git. It organizes work into different branches—each with a specific purpose—to keep development organized and prevent conflicts. The main branches are 'main' (stable release version) and 'develop' (latest development work). When adding features, developers create feature branches; for bug fixes, they use hotfix branches. Once features are complete, they merge back into develop. When ready for release, the code is merged into main and tagged, then any necessary hotfixes are applied. This approach helps teams collaborate smoothly and maintain stable software throughout development.
