IT:AD:Git:HowTo:Branch

There are two primary flows: * IT:AD:GitFlow * GitHub Flow

Advantages:
- Suited for a concept of releases (eg: traditional enterprise release cadence)
Considerations:
- Involves the development quite a few well known branches: master, develop, features, hotfix, release
- All developers treat develop as the source for their features, which are merged back to develop.
- When a set of features are considered stable, develop is branched to a feature.
- Testing takes place on the feature branch.
- Fix bugs in the feature branch.
- Then merge those changes to develop, then to master, where you tag it to match the feature branch name.
Disadvantages:
- Should not start developing till you've created a develop branch.
