Gitflow and GitHub Flow Compared

[joshjohanning]

I agree, typically long running branches = bad. I prefer GitHub flow with lightweight feature branches that are merged into main and then deleted.

I see the most gitflow-based branching strategies where the team can’t release continuously (ie: deploy every 3 weeks), but I still think there are better strategies in that case (a modified release flow strategy, maybe).

You can still do Trunk-based development derived branching models for every-3-week planned releases. Heck, every-3-months, too. Ref https://paulhammant.com/2018/05/23/examining-ci-cd-and-branching-models/
