Branching Strategy

Branches allow work to happen independently from the main codebase.

In practice they are used for:

• new features
• bug fixes
• experiments
• urgent production fixes

A simple and reliable workflow is the feature branch model.

Typical Flow

1. update the main branch
2. create a feature branch
3. commit changes
4. push the branch
5. open a pull request
6. merge after review

Example:

git switch main
git pull origin main
git switch -c feature/add-audit-logging
