What is gitflow?

Gitflow is a branching model for version control in software development facilitated by the use of the Git version control system. It provides a structured workflow that helps teams manage and organize their codebase more effectively. Gitflow encompasses two main branches: the main branch, also known as the master, which is used to store production-ready code, and the develop branch, where new features are integrated and tested before being merged into the main branch. Additionally, it introduces a set of supporting branches, such as feature branches for new additions, release branches for preparation of a new release, and hotfix branches for addressing critical issues. This model enables better collaboration and allows for a more controlled and organized development process.
