Git Workflows: The Basics That Keep Teams Moving

Git Workflows: The Basics That Keep Teams Moving

A workflow is the agreement your team makes about how to use branches, when to review, and how to release.

Start simple: small feature branches + early PRs + CI before merging.

A default that works

1. Branch from main
2. Commit small, often
3. Open a PR early (even as draft)
4. Let CI run
5. Merge only after review

What to avoid

• long-lived branches that never sync with main
• direct pushes to shared production branches
• giant PRs nobody wants to read
