Git — A Collaboration Tool
Git is not just a version control system, it is a tool for team collaboration. But without a clear workflow, Git becomes a source of conflicts.
Git Flow vs Trunk-Based Development
For small and medium teams, we recommend Trunk-Based: main branch always deployable, short-lived feature branches, mandatory pull requests with review.
Commits: Atomicity and Clarity
We use Conventional Commits: feat:, fix:, refactor:, docs:, test:. Atomic commits make reverting easier.
Pull Requests: Not Just a Merge Button
At least one reviewer, description of what/why/how to verify, CI must pass, size up to 400 lines, review within 24 hours.
Resolving Conflicts Without Panic
Rebase regularly, communicate with the author of conflicting changes, do not resolve blindly, run tests after resolve.
CI/CD: Automate the Routine
Automate tests, style checking, static analysis, staging deploy, and manual production confirmation.
Conclusion
An effective Git workflow is about discipline and communication. Short branches, atomic commits, mandatory reviews, and CI/CD — the foundation for fast delivery.
