About Gitflow Methodologies
A "gitflow" methodology is no more than a set of practices that defined the workflow for software development involving a version control system like git. RidgeRun follows a gitflow based on the feature branch model. This model has several advantages:
- It is very well suited for project scheduled on release cycles.
- Allows to maintain a stable code base for all developers involved after each release, which synergizes very well with continuous integration practices.
- Feature branches allow to implement pull requests.
- Development isolation. Each developer works on its branch and does not affects the development of other branch by other developers.
- There are very well defined roles for a git branch, for example, there is the development branch, the master branches, the hotfix branches, etc.
