gitflow

A collection of Git wrapper scripts to provide high-level repository operations for Vincent Driessen's branching model.

Please help out

This project is yet unimplemented. And yes, I mean unimplemented. There are no scripts yet, but I will use this README file as the "design document" for now, so people may start collaborating on it.

Feel free to fork this repo and to commit your additions.

Commands

Initially, the following subcommands to gitflow should be created:

• start
• finish

Those subcommands could work on branch types:

• feature
• release
• hotfix

Examples

• To start a new feature branch, use:

    gitflow start feature <name> [<base>]
    gitflow start feature foo-support
  

  base is develop by default.

• To finish this feature and have it merged into develop, use:

    gitflow finish feature <name>
    gitflow finish feature foo-support
  

• To start a new release branch for 2.0, based on the 1.1 production release, use:

    gitflow start release <release>
    gitflow start release 2.0
  

• To finish the release branch (i.e. to make an actual production release), use:

    gitflow finish release <release>
    gitflow finish release 2.0
  

• To start a new hotfix branch for 2.1, based on the 2.0 production release, use:

    gitflow start hotfix <release> [<base-release>]
    gitflow start hotfix 2.1 2.0
  

• To finish the hotfix branch, use:

    gitflow finish hotfix <release>
    gitflow finish hotfix 2.1
