GitFlow

A branching model with long-lived main and develop branches plus feature, release, and hotfix branches.

Definition

Proposed by Vincent Driessen, GitFlow suits versioned, scheduled releases but adds overhead and delays integration. Its author now recommends simpler flows for continuously delivered software.

Example

release/3.2 is cut from develop, stabilized, then merged to main and tagged v3.2.0.

Exam tip

GitFlow uses develop + main; GitHub Flow uses only main + short feature branches.
