Using Git

Introduction

Git-Flow Workflow is a Git workflow design that was first published and made popular by Vincent Driessen. The Git-Flow Workflow defines a strict branching model designed around the project release. This provides a robust framework for managing larger projects.

Develop and Master Branches

Instead of a single master branch, this workflow uses two branches to record the history of the project. The master branch stores the official release history, and the develop branch serves as an integration branch for features. It's also convenient to tag all commits in the master branch with a version number.
