dotfiles VS gitflow

Being the go-to git guy for a whole project when everyone was new to it.

Are you using it from the command line? I feel that helps a lot. Get a good log alias[1] and get hacking. I almost exclusively use the official CLI, with the exception of git-gui for committing and rolling back patches (lines / hunks). (I find it's easier than `add -p` and that CTRL+J is a good time saver.)

1. GitFlow

Pull Requests (or Merge Requests) are merged only when (1) all of the automated tests pass; and (2) enough necessary reviewers have indicated approval.

Git doesn't tell you when it's necessary to have full test coverage and manual infosec review in development cycles that produce releases, and neither do Pull Requests.

It looks like datasift's gitflow/hubflow docs are 404'ing, but the original nvie blog post [1] has the Git branching workflow diagrams; which the wpsharks/hubflow fork [3] of datasift/gitflow fork [2] of gitflow [1]has a copy of in the README:

SLSA.dev is a social construct atop e.g. git, which is really a low-level purpose-built tool and Perl and now Python porcelain.

"Ask HN: Best Git workflow for small teams" (2016)

A successful Git branching model - известная модель ветвления от Vincent Driessen.

Before embarking on the project, we needed to decide on our Git workflow. Having experienced the unnecessary indirection and bureaucracy of Gitflow, I immediately proposed and implemented a trunk-based strategy instead.

As a best practice, consider creating a dev branch where you can stage your code and collaborate with other developers on your team. Alternatively, you can follow the Trunk-based development branching strategy. For larger teams and complex deployment cycles, the Gitflow branching model might be more suitable.

Note - this IS NOT Git Flow, which is way too complicated for what we're doing. Even the person who created Git Flow has some warnings and thoughts about it, 10 years later (https://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/).

just use Gitflow
