FAQPage Schema

How do I manage GitFlow branching for feature, release, and hotfix workflows?▼

You start a release by branching from develop to release/<version>, bumping the version, and pushing the branch to trigger CI pipelines for stabilization and validation.

What is the correct branch lifecycle for a GitFlow release?▼

The GitFlow release lifecycle spans from branching off develop, through version bumping and CI validation, to post-release back-merging into the main and develop branches to maintain stability.

How do I handle a hotfix workflow and back-merge in version control?▼

A hotfix workflow branches from main to address production issues, followed by a structured back-merge procedure to ensure the fix is integrated back into develop for ongoing version control stability.

Does GitFlow branching work with CI/CD pipelines for release management?▼

Yes, GitFlow branching aligns with CI/CD pipelines by triggering automated validation and stabilization steps upon pushing release or hotfix branches, ensuring consistent and auditable release management.

When should I use a release branch instead of a feature branch in GitFlow?▼

Use a release branch for version stabilization and deployment preparation, whereas feature branches are for developing new capabilities, ensuring distinct lifecycle steps and merge strategies within the workflow.
