Could you tell me about the existing branch management strategy in Git that you used at your previous job?

One of the common strategies for working with branches in Git is Git Flow. It has several types of branches:

• master — contains stable code ready for release.
• develop — the main branch for development, where all features are merged.
• feature/* — branches for developing new features, created from develop and merged back after completion.
• release/* — branches for preparing a release, allowing bug fixes before release.
• hotfix/* — branches for urgent bug fixes in master.

Example workflow:

1. Create a feature branch from develop.
2. Develop the feature, commit changes.
3. After completion, make a pull request to develop.
4. When enough features are accumulated, create a release branch for testing and bug fixing.
5. After release, changes are merged into master and develop.

This strategy helps structure work and simplifies parallel development.
