What is GitFlow?

GitFlow is a popular branching model in Git that helps organize the development and release process.

Main branches in GitFlow:

• master — contains stable code ready for release.
• develop — the main development branch where all new features are merged.

Additional branches:

• Feature branches (feature/*) — for developing new features, created from develop and merged back into develop after completion.
• Release branches (release/*) — for preparing a release, created from develop, and after testing, merged into master and develop.
• Hotfix branches (hotfix/*) — for urgent bug fixes in master, and after fixing, merged into master and develop.

GitFlow helps structure the team's work, simplifies release management, and supports parallel development.
