Trunk Based Development vs Git Flow
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 meets developers should learn git flow when working on projects that require organized release cycles, such as enterprise applications, products with versioned releases, or teams with multiple contributors needing to manage features independently. Here's our take.
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
Trunk Based Development
Nice PickDevelopers 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
Git Flow
Developers should learn Git Flow when working on projects that require organized release cycles, such as enterprise applications, products with versioned releases, or teams with multiple contributors needing to manage features independently
Pros
- +It is particularly useful for maintaining a stable main branch while allowing ongoing development on a separate develop branch, reducing conflicts and ensuring production-ready code
- +Related to: git, version-control
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Trunk Based Development if: You want 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 and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Git Flow if: You prioritize it is particularly useful for maintaining a stable main branch while allowing ongoing development on a separate develop branch, reducing conflicts and ensuring production-ready code over what Trunk Based Development offers.
