This document discusses Gitflow, a branching model for Git. It describes the main branches (master and develop), feature branches, release branches, and hotfix branches. Each branch has a specific purpose and rules for what branches they can be created from and merged into. The document provides instructions for initializing Gitflow and using commands like git flow feature start to create and manage features, releases, and hotfixes.
![GITFLOW
START A RELEASE
To start a release, use the git flow release command. It
creates a release branch created from the 'develop'
branch.
git flow release start RELEASE [BASE]
You can optionally supply a [BASE] commit sha-1 hash to
start the release from. The commit must be on the
'develop' branch.

![GITFLOW
CREATE A HOTFIX
Like the other git flow commands, a hotfix is started with
git flow hotfix start VERSION [BASENAME]
The version argument hereby marks the new hotfix
release name. Optionally you can specify a basename to
start from.

- 3. GITFLOW INTRO ‣The central repo holds two main branches with an infinite lifetime: ‣master ‣develop ‣The different types of branches we may use are: ‣Feature branches ‣Release branches ‣Hotfix branches ‣Each of these branches have a specific purpose and are bound to strict rules as to which branches may be their originating branch and which branches must be their merge targets. 3
- 4. GITFLOW FEATURE BRANCHES ‣May branch off from: ‣develop ‣Must merge back into: ‣develop ‣Branch naming convention: ‣anything except master, develop, release-*, or hotfix-* 4
- 5. GITFLOW RELEASE BRANCHES ‣May branch off from: ‣develop ‣Must merge back into: ‣develop and master ‣Branch naming convention: ‣release-* 5
- 6. GITFLOW HOTFIX BRANCHES ‣May branch off from: ‣master ‣Must merge back into: ‣develop and master ‣Branch naming convention: ‣hotfix-* 6
- 7. GITFLOW INSTALL GITFLOW (WINDOWS) ‣Execute command from cygwin: ‣wget -q -O - --no-check-certificate https://raw.github.com/petervanderdoes/ gitflow-avh/develop/contrib/gitflow- installer.sh install stable | bash 7
- 8. GITFLOW INITIALIZE Start using git-flow by initializing it inside an existing git repository: git flow init You'll have to answer a few questions regarding the naming conventions for your branches. It's recommended to use the default values. 8
- 9. GITFLOW FEATURES ‣Develop new features for upcoming releases ‣Typically exist in developers repos only 9
- 10. GITFLOW START A NEW FEATURE Development of new features starting from the 'develop' branch. Start developing a new feature with git flow feature start MYFEATURE This action creates a new feature branch based on 'develop' and switches to it 10
- 11. GITFLOW FINISH UP A FEATURE Finish the development of a feature. This action performs the following Merges MYFEATURE into 'develop' Removes the feature branch Switches back to 'develop' branch git flow feature finish MYFEATURE 11
- 12. GITFLOW PUBLISH A FEATURE Are you developing a feature in collaboration? Publish a feature to the remote server so it can be used by other users. git flow feature publish MYFEATURE 12
- 13. GITFLOW GETTING A PUBLISHED FEATURE Get a feature published by another user. git flow feature pull origin MYFEATURE You can track a feature on origin by using git flow feature track MYFEATURE 13
- 14. GITFLOW MAKE A RELEASE ‣Support preparation of a new production release ‣Allow for minor bug fixes and preparing meta-data for a release 14
- 15. GITFLOW START A RELEASE To start a release, use the git flow release command. It creates a release branch created from the 'develop' branch. git flow release start RELEASE [BASE] You can optionally supply a [BASE] commit sha-1 hash to start the release from. The commit must be on the 'develop' branch. 15
- 16. GITFLOW START A RELEASE It's wise to publish the release branch after creating it to allow release commits by other developers. Do it similar to feature publishing with the command: git flow release publish RELEASE (You can track a remote release with the git flow release track RELEASE command) 16
- 17. GITFLOW FINISH UP A RELEASE Finishing a release is one of the big steps in git branching. It performs several actions: Merges the release branch back into 'master' Tags the release with its name Back-merges the release into 'develop' Removes the release branch git flow release finish RELEASE Don't forget to push your tags with git push --tags 17
- 18. GITFLOW HOTFIXES ‣Hotfixes arise from the necessity to act immediately upon an undesired state of a live production version ‣May be branched off from the corresponding tag on the master branch that marks the production version 18
- 19. GITFLOW CREATE A HOTFIX Like the other git flow commands, a hotfix is started with git flow hotfix start VERSION [BASENAME] The version argument hereby marks the new hotfix release name. Optionally you can specify a basename to start from. 19
- 20. GITFLOW FINISH A HOTFIX By finishing a hotfix it gets merged back into develop and master. Additionally the master merge is tagged with the hotfix version. git flow hotfix finish VERSION 20
- 22. GITFLOW BACKLOG ‣Not all available commands are covered here, only the most important ones ‣You can still use git and all its commands normally as you know them, git flow is only a tooling collection ‣The 'support' feature is still beta, using it is not advised 22
