The Gitflow workflow is a popular Git branching model that provides a structured approach to managing projects using Git. It was first introduced by Vincent Driessen in 2010 and has since become widely adopted in the software development community. The Gitflow workflow defines a strict branching model designed around the project release. It uses the following main branches:
1. Master Branch
The master branch stores the official release history. It is considered the main branch where the source code of HEAD always reflects a production-ready state.
2. Develop Branch
The develop branch serves as an integration branch for features. It is used to incorporate finished features into the upcoming release. When the develop branch reaches a stable point and is ready to be released, it is merged into the master branch.
