Git Workflow & CI/CD

To set up a Git workflow with conventional commits and feature branches, initialize main and develop branches, apply feature/*, fix/*, and release/* patterns, and enforce commit conventions to maintain a clean project history.

Automate lint, test, build, and deploy pipelines using GitHub Actions by configuring CI/CD pipelines that trigger on PR workflows, running automated checks before merging code into the main and develop branches.

Enforce commit linting and formatting before commits using Husky by installing pre-commit hooks that execute automated checks, ensuring consistent commit messaging and code formatting prior to integration.

The best Git branch strategy for teams adopting a mature release process uses main, develop, feature/*, fix/*, and release/* branches with predictable versioning, guided by PR workflows to reduce integration frictions.

You do not need GitHub Actions to use Husky pre-commit hooks. Husky operates locally to run linting and tests before commits, while GitHub Actions handles remote CI/CD pipelines for build and deployment.

Use conventional commits in a CI/CD pipeline to standardize commit messaging, enable automated versioning, and maintain a clean history, which reduces integration frictions across teams during automated deployments.
