![]() ![]() At that point, Git Flow is used to close the release branch and merge it into the production and development branches, ensuring that all changes made in the release branch, are merged back into both. The QA testing and fixing on the pre-release branch continues until a point where it is now ready to go to production. ![]() This is really where the Git repo system begins to shine. If any fixes are needed, developers can easily switch from their development branch to the release branch, fix the issue, make a new pre-release build, and deploy it for QA. A build is prepared from the release branch and installed on QA servers, so that testing can begin. This will create a new release branch from development, isolating the code into a new release branch, where it will be stabilized until it is ready to be released into production. When the code in the development branch reaches a stable point, a release branch can be made using the Git Flow button in SourceTree. The only real important factor is where they are originate from, and where they merge when closed, which is all handled by Git Flow (think of Git Flow as the Git workflow). Technically, these additional branches all function the same way. Developers can also push and pull to/from each other, if they want to test something before pushing to origin.Īt the core, the Git Flow model has two main branches at origin: Other developers can then pull those changes down to their local repository. When they finish making changes, they can push those changes up to origin. Each developer then has a local copy of origin that they use to make their changes in. With Git there is a central repository (repo) called origin. I will never go back to a centralized system like svn, and any client I work with, will be lectured on the importance of switching to Git. I can create feature branches, hot fix branches, release branches, collapse branches, all without fear, and with minimal effort. With Git, branching is extremely easy and part of my everyday workflow. The bottom-line for me, is that Git is designed for branching, where as for other centralized systems like svn, it is an advanced topic and considered a bit scary (“watch out for merge conflicts…”). There are plenty of flame wars on this topic already underway on the web. I’m not going to get into a debate with anyone over the pros and cons of Git versus centralized source code control systems like subversion or svn. Without it, you are in big trouble its only a matter of time before you loose it all due to a hard drive failure or other disaster. Using a repository for source code control is imperative, regardless if you are a lone developer, a small team of developers, or a big team. I also explain how to setup Git Flow with Servoy, and even include a video demonstrating how to do some basic branching. In this Servoy tutorial I present the Git Flow model that is working well for me on all my big projects. This is a Servoy Tutorial on how to use Git, Git Flow, and Atlassian SourceTree (GUI for Git Flow) with Servoy.
