What is the best branching strategy for our development team?

The best branching strategy often depends on your team's workflow and project requirements. Common strategies include Git Flow, GitHub Flow, and trunk-based development. Can you tell me more about your team's size and project type?

We are a small team working on a web application.

For a small team, GitHub Flow might be ideal. It allows for continuous delivery and is simpler to manage. Would you like to know how to implement it?

Yes, please explain how to implement GitHub Flow.

To implement GitHub Flow, start with a main branch for production. Create feature branches for new work, and when ready, open a pull request to merge back into the main branch after review. This encourages collaboration and keeps the main branch stable.

What are the benefits of using GitHub Flow?

The benefits include faster releases, easier collaboration, and a clear workflow that helps maintain code quality. It also simplifies the process of integrating new features.
