Git workflows

GitHub flow

GitHub Flow appears to be well-suited for asynchronous, exploratory way of working.

• There is only one main branch.
• Anything in the main branch is always deployable.
• All other branches are whatever but they are always based off main.

GitFlow

GitFlow is ideally suited for large projects that have a scheduled release cycle.

• There are main, dev, and many feature branches.
• Feature branches use dev as a parent.
• Feature branches never interact with main directly.
• There can be hotfix and release branches.
