## Branching Strategies

**GitHub Flow:**

- Single main branch
- Feature branches only
- Deploy on merge
- Best for: continuous deployment

**GitFlow:**

- main, develop, feature, release, hotfix
- Structured releases
- Best for: versioned releases

**Trunk-Based:**

- Short-lived branches (<1 day)
- Feature flags for incomplete work
- Best for: high-velocity teams

**Types:**
