Professional Git workflows

Use Git like a professional team.

📖 Key ideas

  1. Workflows: GitHub Flow (branch → PR → main), Git Flow, trunk-based development.
  2. Write clear commit messages (Conventional Commits: feat:, fix:).
  3. Tag releases: git tag v1.2.0.
  4. Use .gitignore and never commit secrets.
  5. Your GitHub profile is your developer portfolio.
💡 Real-life example: A team workflow is traffic rules: everyone drives safely when they follow the same rules.
