Git Flow: Main Branch Please note: the main branch is commonly referred to as “master”; we have made an intentional decision to avoid that outdated term and have chosen to use “main” instead. The purpose of the main branch in the Git flow workflow is to contain production-ready code...
The benefit of GitFlow as a Git production workflow is that it allows larger teams to work on complex software while still being able to quickly fix bugs in production. In addition, the release branch allows for a staging period where users can test the software in a staging environment befo...
Hot-fix branches are the branches that patch and deliver a release quickly. O remembered that none of the branch names is necessary to use. A user can name any branch anything. But, as a part of GitFlow, the names such as master, feature, develop, hot-fix, etc. should be followed a...
Basically, Gitlab allows us to implement a wide variety of different strategies and workflows. Nowadays, in many organizations, there is no proper workflow or we can say that they flow some complicated workflow. Complicated workflow means that there is no proper workflow, there is no issues trac...
GitLab Flow creates a seamless approach to software development by integrating a Git workflow with an issue tracking system. What is GitLab Flow? GitLab Flow is a simpler alternative to GitFlow and combines feature driven development and feature branches with issue tracking. With GitLab Flow, ...
This Git branching model is most similar to trunk-based development. GitHub Flow Advantages Using a lightweight workflow like GitHub Flow can work well for CI/CD. You are only testing and automating changes to a single branch. Smaller teams can build, test, and deploy features fast. But ...
GitHub is a cloud-based platform that uses Git, a distributed version control system, at its core. The GitHub platform simplifies the process of collaborating on projects and provides a website, command-line tools, and overall flow that allows developers and users to work together. As we learn...
GitLab Flow Branch Strategy At its core, the GitLab flow branching strategy is a clearly-defined workflow. While similar to the GitHub flow branch strategy, the main differentiator is the addition of environment branches—ie production and pre-production—or release branches, depending on the situa...
Fast-Forward Merge became built-in functionality and it is now applicable only if a fast-forward merge is actually possible. Previously, it was only a default external tool. What's New in SmartGit 21.2 Support for Apple Silicon (M1) The most important new change in version 21.2 is the ...
A Deployment Pipeline is an automated workflow that takes code changes from development through to production. It consists of stages, such as building, testing, and deploying, to ensure the software is correctly integrated, verified, and ready for release. Each step in the pipeline checks code qu...
