What is GitFlow?

GitFlow is a popular branching model in Git that helps organize the development and release process. It features main branches:

• master — contains stable code ready for production.
• develop — the main branch for integrating new features and changes.

Additionally, auxiliary branches are used:

• feature/ — for developing new features, branching off from develop and merging back into develop.
• release/ — for preparing a release, branching off from develop, and after testing, merging into master and develop.
• hotfix/ — for urgent bug fixes in production, branching off from master and merging back into master and develop after fixing.

GitFlow helps structure the team's work, simplifies parallel development, and manages releases.
