Git Flow Is A Bad Idea

Title:

Description:

What is GitFlow and why is it a bad idea if you want to practice Continuous Delivery or Continuous Integration? GitFlow is a feature branching strategy that adds several extra layers of complexity. Git Flow is bad when we need fast feedback and a clear picture of the quality and 'releasability' of our work, so how do we adapt to get that faster feedback and a clearer picture?

In this episode Dave Farley describes GitFlow, Git feature branch-based GitHubFlow and explores the reasons why they aren’t compatible with the software engineering practices of Continuous Delivery, or Continuous Integration, and describes how Bryan Finster got important sources of information on this topic changed to point out their inappropriateness including revising the description of GitFlow on the Atlassian website.
