Git Flow tips and tricks

git-flow tips.md

• Having at least 2 branches: master and develop
• master branch has only released code
• develop branch has only stable code
• When working on new feature it is better to create brunch like:

> git checkout -b develop-my-new-cool-feature

• After work on feature in separate branch is done, it is better to merge it with develop (as other developers could push their features there):

> git merge develop

• Before release it is good to create tag with:

> git tag -a "tag name - e.g. v2.1" -m "What is new in this release"

• To push tag to remote:

> git push --tags

• After tag for release is added, it is good practice to merge code from develop to master before starting work on new release:

> git checkout master
> git merge develop
