A brief intro to Git Flow

(Taken from A successful Git branching model by Vincent Driessen )

Ideally in a Git workflow, there are two main branches - master and develop

• master branch should be used for production ready states
• develop branch should have latest delivered development changes

And rest of the feature branches must be branched from develop

Once a feature branch is completed, it should be merged back to develop. After couple of features are merged into develop, it should be tested and should be merged to master for production release.

This section is just to give you an intro on a popular Git Workflow. Your team might be using slightly different workflow. Discuss with your team to know more.
