Version control systems like Git help track changes in projects, ensuring easy collaboration. However, managing branches efficiently is crucial to avoid clutter. Git Flow is a structured workflow with two permanent branches: main (stable production) and develop (active development). Temporary branches (feature, release, and hotfix) help manage new features, releases, and urgent fixes. While effective, Git Flow can be complex and redundant for modern continuous delivery practices. GitHub Flow offers a simpler alternative with only main and feature branches, promoting frequent deployments and minimizing unreleased code. It aligns well with continuous delivery, making it a preferred choice for many teams.
