GitHub Flow vs Trunk Based Development
Developers should use GitHub Flow when working on projects that require fast, iterative releases and collaborative code reviews, such as web applications, APIs, or microservices 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.
GitHub Flow
Developers should use GitHub Flow when working on projects that require fast, iterative releases and collaborative code reviews, such as web applications, APIs, or microservices
GitHub Flow
Nice PickDevelopers should use GitHub Flow when working on projects that require fast, iterative releases and collaborative code reviews, such as web applications, APIs, or microservices
Pros
- +It is particularly beneficial for teams practicing continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD), as it streamlines merging changes and reduces the risk of conflicts
- +Related to: git, pull-requests
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 GitHub Flow if: You want it is particularly beneficial for teams practicing continuous integration and deployment (ci/cd), as it streamlines merging changes and reduces the risk of conflicts 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 GitHub Flow offers.
