What Is Github Flow

GitHub flow is a lightweight, branch-based workflow. The GitHub flow is useful for everyone, not just developers. For example, here at GitHub, we use GitHub flow for our site policy, documentation, and roadmap.

What is the difference between Git flow and GitHub flow?

GitHub proposes an alternate workflow called GitHub Flow. GitHub Flow has some of the same elements as Git Flow, such as feature branches. But unlike Git Flow, GitHub Flow combines the mainline and release branches into a “master” and treats hotfixes just like feature branches.

Is git flow good?

If your organization is on a monthly or quarterly release cycle and it’s a team that works on multiple releases in parallel, Gitflow may be a good choice for you. If your team is a startup, or an internet-facing website or web application, where you may have multiple releases in a day; gitflow isn’t good for you.
