Choose Your Branching Strategy

Pick a strategy and stick to it.

Common strategies:

  • GitHub Flow: Simple. Main + feature branches. Best for continuous deployment.
  • GitFlow: Main + develop + feature/release/hotfix branches. Best for versioned releases.
  • Trunk-Based: Short-lived branches, frequent merges to main. Best for CI/CD.

For most teams, GitHub Flow is the simplest starting point.
