Git Flow, GitHub Flow, trunk-based — choose the right branching model for your team and deployment cadence.
Five passes over the same idea, each from a different angle. Do them in order, or jump to whichever you need.
Branching strategies balance development speed with release stability. Git Flow (feature/develop/release/main), GitHub Flow (feature → main), trunk-based development (small PRs, feature flags), and release branching. Each fits different team sizes, release cadences, and risk tolerances.
