git-flow defines a branching model that is tightly coupled with the project release cycle. This model is suited for projects that have a scheduled release cycle.
* [[Gitflow_Operations#Overview|Operations]]
 
git-flow comes with a well-defined set of branches, where each branch (or each branch type) has a specific role:
* <span id='Master'></span>The '''master''' branch stores the official release history. The master contains the abridged history of the project, unlike [[#Develop|develop]], which contains the complete history.
* <span id='Develop'></span>The '''develop''' branch serves as integration branch for features. This branch contains the complete history of the project.
* <span id='Feature'></span>'''Feature''' branches serve to develop features. Each feature should reside on its own branch. The feature branches branch off [[#Develop|develop]], not [[#Master|master]]. When a feature is complete, the corresponding feature branch is merged back into [[#Develop|develop]]. Features should never interact directly with master.
* <span id='Release'></span>'''Release'' branches host release preparation development. Once [[#Develop|develop]] contains enough features for a release, or the schedule release date is approaching, a new release branch is forked off [[#Develop|develop]]. The creation of the release branch starts the release cycle: no new features can be added after this point, only bug fixes, documentation and other release-related content. Once the release work is finalized: 1) the release branch is merged into the [[#Master|master]] and tagged with a release number and 2) the release branch is merged back into [[#Develop|develop]]. Merging the release branch back into [[#Develop|develop]] is critical because important updates may have been added to the release branch during the release process and we want those into the main development state. Having a dedicated release branch facilitates communication regarding the specific release: "we're preparing version 7.7". After release and merging, the release branch should be deleted.
 
git-flow is a merge-based solution. It does not rebase feature branches.
