What is GitFlow?

What this post added

This post introduces and contrasts GitFlow and GitLab Flow. It details GitFlow's five branch types (main, develop, feature, release, hotfix) and its structured workflow for complex releases. It then presents GitLab Flow as a simplified alternative, emphasizing its use of pre-production branches (e.g., test, acceptance) before merging to main and production, and its flexibility for versioned APIs. The post also outlines the benefits of GitFlow such as rapid bug fixes, ensured testing, streamlined development, and efficient collaboration, and provides a comparison table and FAQ to help users choose between the two workflows.
