Popular for small teams and continuous delivery

Uses only a main branch + feature branches

1. GitHub Flow vs Git Flow A Simple Comparison of Two Git Workflows

2. What is a Git Workflow? - A Git workflow defines how developers work together using Git. - It helps teams: • Organize code changes • Manage branches • Release software smoothly

3. GitHub Flow - Overview - A lightweight workflow - Popular for small teams and continuous delivery - Uses only a main branch + feature branches

4. GitHub Flow - Process 1. Start a feature branch from main 2. Work and commit changes 3. Open a Pull Request (PR) 4. Team reviews & approves 5. Merge into main 6. Deploy immediately

5. Git Flow - Overview - A structured workflow - Best for large projects and scheduled releases - Uses multiple branches: • main • develop • feature/* • release/* • hotfix/*

6. Git Flow - Process 1. Create feature branches from develop 2. Merge into develop when complete 3. Create release branch when stable 4. Merge release into both main and develop 5. Use hotfix branch for urgent fixes

7. GitHub Flow vs Git Flow (Comparison) GitHub Flow: - Easy, minimal - Branches: main + feature - Best for small teams, fast delivery - Continuous deployment Git Flow: - Complex, structured - Branches: main, develop, feature, release, hotfix - Best for large teams, planned releases - Scheduled deployment

8. When to Use? - GitHub Flow: • Startups, small teams, quick updates - Git Flow: • Enterprise projects, long-term planning

9. Conclusion - Both workflows are useful - GitHub Flow → Simplicity & speed - Git Flow → Control & organization - Choose based on team size and project needs
