What branching strategy do you use in your version control system to organize development?

A commonly used branching strategy is Git Flow. It involves dividing development into several types of branches:

• master — a stable version ready for release;
• develop — the main branch for integrating new features;
• feature/ — branches for developing individual features, branching off from develop and merged back;
• release/ — branches for preparing releases, fixing bugs, and testing;
• hotfix/ — branches for urgent bug fixes in master.

This model helps organize parallel work, simplifies releases, and code maintenance.

Example of a simple workflow:

1. Create a branch feature/new-feature from develop.
2. Develop and commit changes.
3. Merge feature/new-feature back into develop.
4. When ready for release, create a branch release/v1.0 from develop.
5. After testing, merge release/v1.0 into master and develop.

Alternatives include GitHub Flow (simpler, with one main branch) or trunk-based development.
