Github Flow

This guide will help you understand the GitHub Flow and how to use it in the projects.

What is GitHub Flow?

GitHub Flow is a lightweight, branch-based workflow that supports teams and projects where deployments are made regularly. It is designed around the core idea that a main branch should always be deployable. This means that the main branch should contain the latest stable version of the project.

How does it work?

The GitHub Flow consists of the following steps:

1. Create a branch: When you start working on a new feature or fix a bug, you should create a new branch from the main branch. The branch should have a descriptive name that reflects the changes you are making.
2. Add commits: Once you have made the changes, you should commit them to the branch. Each commit should be a small, logical change that can be easily reviewed.
3. Open a pull request: After you have committed the changes, you should open a pull request to merge the changes into the main branch. The pull request should contain a description of the changes and any relevant information.
4. Discuss and review: The team should review the changes and discuss any issues or suggestions. The pull request should be updated based on the feedback received.
5. Merge the changes: Once the changes have been reviewed and approved, they can be merged into the main branch. The main branch should always contain the latest stable version of the project.
6. Deploy: After the changes have been merged, they can be deployed to the production environment. This ensures that the latest changes are available to the users.
