Git Branching Strategies: GitHub Flow

dev git, github flow

In this post I woud like to talk about GitHub Flow branching strategy:

Basic approach

  • Main diagram of the workflow:

  • It’s a branch-based workflow mostly targeting projects where deployments are made regularly. In other words, it’s more suitable for continuos deployment environments.
  • There’s only one rule about branching: anything in the master branch is always deployable. Because of this, it’s extremely important that your new branch is created off of master when working on a feature or a fix.
  • Branch names should be descriptive
  • Once the changes are done, create a pull request.
  • Discuss the pull request and apply changes where necessary
  • Merge into master and deploy straight away
