I’ve been a fan of git-flow for a long time. It makes the master consistently stable and production ready, gives mechanisms for hotfixing, patching, releasing, tagging, and regular feature dev with a running develop branch. This tends to be more stable than Wild West commits into dev direct, since you work on a feature in isolation, and then merge the feature in when it’s ready, and keeps prod in its own lane so there’s no risk of a feature accidentally nuking something.
Doesn't the "scaled trunk-based development" do that too, with feature branches and merge requests? Trunk is your production-ready branch there.
Yeah they’re similar in several ways
I'm another git-flow fan. Have not encountered a situation that would motivate me to change workflow. We use submodules all over the place, too.
