Git Flow organizes Git work around designated branches: the main branch holds production-ready code, while the development branch collects new features. section 5.1.1
Document the workflow so teammates can follow the same path:
- Define naming rules for feature and hotfix branches. section 5.1.1
- Push completed work to QA and staging for testing and validation. section 5.1.1
- Merge completed features into the main branch and document deployment procedures. section 5.1.1
- Record how to handle merge errors and cherry-pick necessary commits. section 5.1.1
