Mid Version Control

Describe your preferred Git branching strategy (e.g., Git Flow, Trunk-based).?

My preferred strategy depends on the project type and team size:

  • For large enterprise projects with planned releases → I prefer Git Flow.
  • Branches: main, develop, feature/*, release/*, hotfix/*
  • Benefits: Organized release management, clear isolation of features and

fixes.

  • For agile teams or startups deploying multiple times a day → I prefer Trunk-Based

Development.

  • Developers work on short-lived feature branches and merge into main

frequently (often daily).

  • CI/CD pipelines ensure code is always deployable.

Real-world example:

At my last company, we used Trunk-Based Development for a SaaS platform — it reduced

merge conflicts and allowed fast continuous deployment.
