Branching strategy for a text based project (feddit.it)

Hi there, we are a small tram of social researchers working on writing a collective report together. The report has several chapters. Our plan is to use git to store changes and easily traceback to different versions as well as allowing everyone to experiment with new ideas.

I am trying to decide a branching strategy, and so far I guess something like feature branching could do. We could have a branch for each chapter..? And maybe, when a chapter is kind ready, we could merge into main..?

We will have members working potentially on different parts of the report in different moments.

Advice is needed. Thank you!

I have no idea but I suposse it would need some agreement on the index/barebones before anything else.

We opted for each file as a chapter. We already have the general structure. We are wondering what is the best approach. Maybe we should not have branches at all(?)
