Git branching strategies (Git Flow, GitHub Flow)?

#1. Git Flow

Complex, for scheduled releases.

``` main (production) develop (integration) feature/* (new features) release/* (release prep) hotfix/* (urgent fixes) ```

Pros: Structured, clear roles Cons: Complex, slow

#2. GitHub Flow

Simple, for continuous deployment.

``` main (always deployable) feature/* (short-lived) ```

Workflow:

1. Create feature branch
2. Commit changes
3. Open Pull Request
4. Review & merge
5. Deploy main

Pros: Simple, fast Cons: Requires good CI/CD

#3. Trunk-Based Development

Very short-lived branches.

```bash

git checkout -b feature/quick-fix

git checkout main git merge feature/quick-fix ```

Pros: Continuous integration Cons: Requires discipline
