Git Workflow for Teams: Branching Strategies That Work

Good Git workflow prevents merge conflicts, lost work, and 'it works on my machine' disasters.

For Small Teams (2-5)

GitHub Flow: main + feature branches. Create branch → work → PR → review → merge. Simple, effective.

For Larger Teams (5+)

GitFlow: main + develop + feature/release/hotfix branches. More structure, clearer release process.

Branch Naming

feature/user-authentication, fix/login-redirect-loop, chore/update-dependencies. Use prefixes consistently.
