git-workflow

A standard git workflow for team collaboration uses branching strategies like feature and bugfix branches, merges changes into develop or main, and enforces conventional commit messages to maintain a stable, traceable codebase history.

To write conventional commit messages for feature branches, use prefixes like feat, fix, or chore followed by a scope, such as git commit -m "feat(auth): add login". This generates a clear and traceable change history.

To resolve merge conflicts in a develop branch, apply safe merge workflows by pulling the latest changes, manually resolving conflicting code sections, and committing the resolved files to maintain project stability.

The best way to name branches in a git workflow is using task-driven conventions like feature/, bugfix/, or hotfix/ prefixes. This ensures branches are organized by their specific development purpose.

You do not need any specific git tools or extensions to implement these branching strategies. The workflow relies entirely on standard git commands like git checkout and git commit for creating branches and merging changes.
