How to best use of Git -GitFlow

A successful Git branching model:

Master Branch:

• origin/master to be the main branch where the source code of HEAD always reflects a production-ready state.
• All of the changes should be merged back into master somehow and then tagged with a release number.

Develop Branch:

• origin/develop to be the main branch where the source code of HEAD always reflects a state with the latest delivered development changes for the next release.

Gitflow Supporting Branches:

• Feature
• Release
• Hotfix

Feature branches:

• Must branch off from: develop
• Must merge back into: develop
• Branch naming convention: anything I prefer “JobNumber-JobTitle/#JIRATicketNumber”?

Release branches:

• Must branch off from: develop
• Must merge back into: develop + Master
• Branch naming convention: anything I prefer “Release-*(ReleaseNumber)”.

HotFixes Branches:

• Must branch off from: master
• Must merge back into: develop + Master
• Branch naming convention: I prefer “hotfix-*(#JIRATicketNumber)”
