git-flow
Git extensions to provide high-level repository operations
...The model separates long-lived master (or main) and develop branches, encourages topic branches for features, and formalizes release and hotfix flows, which helps teams coordinate work and control what reaches production. The scripts enforce naming conventions, guide merges in the right direction, and add version tags to releases so you keep a clean, auditable history. Teams often adopt git-flow to make branching and release management predictable, especially when multiple developers are shipping features and bug fixes in parallel.
