How does the CI/CD process work when implementing the Git Flow strategy?

The CI/CD process using the Git Flow strategy is organized as follows:

1. Git Flow is a branching model that includes main branches: master (production), develop (development), as well as auxiliary branches feature, release, and hotfix.

2. CI (Continuous Integration) — continuous integration. Every time a developer pushes changes to feature or develop branches, an automatic build and testing process is triggered. This allows for quick detection of errors and conflicts.

3. CD (Continuous Delivery/Deployment) — continuous delivery or deployment. After successful testing, changes from the develop branch can be automatically or manually merged into release and then into master, where deployment to staging or production occurs.

Thus, Git Flow structures branch management, while CI/CD ensures automation of build, testing, and deployment, increasing product quality and release speed.
