Version Control Workflows for Teams
Version Control Workflows for Teams Version control helps teams track work, review changes, and release features reliably. A clear workflow reduces merge conflicts and speeds delivery. This guide explains common models, how to pick one, and practical guidelines you can apply today. It also shows how to align code reviews, testing, and releases with real team needs. Three popular approaches are feature branching, trunk-based development, and Gitflow. Each has tradeoffs in complexity, risk, and release timing. Feature branching uses short lived branches for tasks and keeps work isolated until it is ready. Trunk-based development keeps changes in a shared main branch, with small updates and feature flags to hide unfinished work. Gitflow adds formal release and hotfix branches to coordinate multiple streams. For teams with frequent releases, trunk-based or feature-focused workflows often work best; for teams handling planned releases with multiple versions, Gitflow can help structure work. ...
