## Git-Flow

Improved [Git-flow](https://github.com/petervanderdoes/gitflow-avh)



### Index

* [Setup](#setup)

* [Getting Started](#getting-started)

* [Features](#features)

* [Make a Release](#make-a-release)

* [Hotfixes](#hotfixes)

* [Commands](#commands)






### Setup

###### You need a working git installation as prerequisite. Git flow works on OSX, Linux and Windows.



##### OSX Homebrew:

```

$ brew install git-flow-avh

```



##### OSX Macports:

```

$ port install git-flow

```



##### Linux (Debian-based):

```

$ sudo apt-get install git-flow

```



##### Windows (Cygwin):

###### You need wget and util-linux to install git-flow.

```bash

$ wget -q -O - --no-check-certificate https://raw.githubusercontent.com/petervanderdoes/gitflow/develop/contrib/gitflow-installer.sh install  | bash

```




### Getting Started

###### Git flow needs to be initialized in order to customize your project setup. Start using git-flow by initializing it inside an existing git repository:

##### Initialize:

###### You'll have to answer a few questions regarding the naming conventions for your branches. It's recommended to use the default values.

```shell

git flow init

```

OR

###### To use default

```shell

git flow init -d

```




### Features

###### Develop new features for upcoming releases. Typically exist in developers repos only.

##### Start a new feature:

###### This action creates a new feature branch based on 'develop' and switches to it.

```

git flow feature start MYFEATURE

```



##### Finish up a feature:

###### Finish the development of a feature. This action performs the following:

###### 1) Merged MYFEATURE into 'develop'.

###### 2) Removes the feature branch.

###### 3) Switches back to 'develop' branch

```

git flow feature finish MYFEATURE

```



##### Publish a feature:

###### Are you developing a feature in collaboration? Publish a feature to the remote server so it can be used by other users.

```

git flow feature publish MYFEATURE

```



##### Getting a published feature:

###### Get a feature published by another user.

```

git flow feature pull origin MYFEATURE

```



##### Tracking a origin feature:

###### You can track a feature on origin by using

```

git flow feature track MYFEATURE

```




### Make a Release

###### Support preparation of a new production release. Allow for minor bug fixes and preparing meta-data for a release



##### Start a release:

###### To start a release, use the git flow release command. It creates a release branch created from the 'develop' branch. You can optionally supply a [BASE] commit sha-1 hash to start the release from. The commit must be on the 'develop' branch.

```

git flow release start RELEASE [BASE]

```

###### It's wise to publish the release branch after creating it to allow release commits by other developers. Do it similar to feature publishing with the command:

```

git flow release publish RELEASE

```

###### (You can track a remote release with the: ```git flow release track RELEASE``` command)



##### Finish up a release:

###### Finishing a release is one of the big steps in git branching. It performs several actions:

###### 1) Merges the release branch back into 'master'

###### 2) Tags the release with its name

###### 3) Back-merges the release into 'develop'

###### 4) Removes the release branch

```

git flow release finish RELEASE

```

###### Don't forget to push your tags with ```git push --tags```






### Hotfixes

###### Hotfixes arise from the necessity to act immediately upon an undesired state of a live production version. May be branched off from the corresponding tag on the master branch that marks the production version.



##### Git flow hotfix start:

###### Like the other git flow commands, a hotfix is started with

```

$ git flow hotfix start VERSION [BASENAME]

```

###### The version argument hereby marks the new hotfix release name. Optionally you can specify a basename to start from.



##### Finish a hotfix:

###### By finishing a hotfix it gets merged back into develop and master. Additionally the master merge is tagged with the hotfix version

```

git flow hotfix finish VERSION

```
