# Gitflow Workflow Rules

## Main Branches

### main (or master)
- Contains production-ready code
- Never commit directly to main
- Only accepts merges from:
  - hotfix/* branches
  - release/* branches
- Must be tagged with version number after each merge

### develop
- Main development branch
- Contains latest delivered development changes
- Source branch for feature branches
- Never commit directly to develop

## Supporting Branches

### feature/*
- Branch from: develop
- Merge back into: develop
- Naming convention: feature/[issue-id]-descriptive-name
- Example: feature/123-user-authentication
- Must be up-to-date with develop before creating PR
- Delete after merge

### release/*
- Branch from: develop
- Merge back into: 
  - main
  - develop
- Naming convention: release/vX.Y.Z
- Example: release/v1.2.0
- Only bug fixes, documentation, and release-oriented tasks
- No new features
- Delete after merge

### hotfix/*
- Branch from: main
- Merge back into:
  - main
  - develop
- Naming convention: hotfix/vX.Y.Z
- Example: hotfix/v1.2.1
- Only for urgent production fixes
- Delete after merge

## Commit Messages

## Version Control

## Branch Protection Rules

### main & develop

- Require branches to be up to date
- Include administrators in restrictions
- No force pushes
- No deletions

## Release Process

2. Bump version numbers
3. Fix any release-specific issues
4. Create PR to main
5. After merge to main:
   - Tag release
   - Merge back to develop
   - Delete release branch

## Hotfix Process
