Smart branching with SourceTree and Git-flow

This post introduces the integration of the git-flow branching model into SourceTree 1.5. It explains the git-flow concept (development, production, feature, release, hotfix branches) and details how SourceTree's new toolbar button and dialogs simplify actions like starting and finishing features, starting and finishing releases, and starting hotfixes. The preview functionality in SourceTree's dialogs is highlighted as a key usability improvement.
