Gitflow vs Trunk Based Development
Developers should learn Gitflow when working on medium to large-scale projects with multiple contributors, regular release cycles, or a need for stable production code meets developers should use trunk based development when working in fast-paced, collaborative teams that prioritize rapid feedback and continuous delivery, such as in microservices architectures or ci/cd pipelines. Here's our take.
Gitflow
Developers should learn Gitflow when working on medium to large-scale projects with multiple contributors, regular release cycles, or a need for stable production code
Gitflow
Nice PickDevelopers should learn Gitflow when working on medium to large-scale projects with multiple contributors, regular release cycles, or a need for stable production code
Pros
- +It is particularly useful for teams that require clear separation between development, testing, and production stages, as it reduces conflicts and ensures code quality through structured workflows
- +Related to: git, version-control
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Trunk Based Development
Developers should use Trunk Based Development when working in fast-paced, collaborative teams that prioritize rapid feedback and continuous delivery, such as in microservices architectures or CI/CD pipelines
Pros
- +It is particularly beneficial for reducing integration hell, enabling faster releases, and maintaining a stable codebase, making it ideal for projects with frequent deployments or large-scale distributed systems
- +Related to: continuous-integration, continuous-deployment
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Gitflow if: You want it is particularly useful for teams that require clear separation between development, testing, and production stages, as it reduces conflicts and ensures code quality through structured workflows and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Trunk Based Development if: You prioritize it is particularly beneficial for reducing integration hell, enabling faster releases, and maintaining a stable codebase, making it ideal for projects with frequent deployments or large-scale distributed systems over what Gitflow offers.
