What is the GitLab Flow
- A simplified branching strategy
- All features and fixes first go to master
- Allows for 'production' or 'stable' branches
- Bug fixes/hot fix patches are cherry-picked from master
Feature branches
- Create a feature/bugfix branch to do all work
- Use merge requests to merge to master
Production branch
- One, long-running production release branch as opposed to individual stable branches
- Consider creating a tag for each version that gets deployed
Production branch
Release branch
- Useful if you release software to customers
- When preparing a new release, create stable branch from master
- Consider creating a tag for each version
- Cherry-pick critical bug fixes to stable branch for patch release
- Never commit bug fixes directly to stable branch
Release branch
