git flow
Domain: Version Control
🎯 Motivation
git flow is a branching model with dedicated branches for features, releases, and hotfixes. It gives teams a structured way to manage complex releases, though smaller projects often prefer simpler workflows.
📋 Concrete Example
In git flow, you create feature/payment from develop, merge it back to develop, then merge develop into main when ready to release, tagging main with a version number.
🔗 Analogy
git flow is like a restaurant kitchen with separate stations: prep (feature), cooking (develop), and plating (main). Each dish moves through stations in a set order before serving.
