How to use git flow without using release branch?

There are several branches available in git flow. such as

  • feature/
  • release/
  • support/
  • hotfix/
  • bugfix/

I do not need release/ branch and want to merge staging branch (a development branch) directly to master. What is the best way to achieve this using git flow?

Solution

  • I think this would be mandatory to make release branch for every release in production or your master branch

    So There is no alternative way to do this.

    Simply flow is as below:

    1. Work on your feature branch
    2. Finish work and merge your feature branch to staging
    3. Make release branch from staging.
    4. Add version and tag than merge it to master amd staging both.

    I think this would be helpful for you.
