##Git-Flow

###Index


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

#####OSX Homebrew:

$ brew install git-flow

#####OSX Macports:

$ port install git-flow

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

$ apt-get install git-flow

#####Windows (Cygwin): ######You need wget and util-linux to install git-flow.

$ wget -q -O - --no-check-certificate https://github.com/nvie/gitflow/raw/develop/contrib/gitflow-installer.sh | 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.

git flow init

###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
