Pure-Python implementation of Git extensions to provide high-level
repository operations for Vincent Driessen’sbranching model.Getting startedFor the best introduction to get started withgit flow, please read

branches you would like to use as development and production branches,
and how you would like your prefixes be named. You may simply press

git flow feature start <name> [<base>]
git flow feature finish <name>For feature branches, the<base>arg must be a commit ondevelop.To push/pull a feature branch to the remote repository, use:git flow feature publish <name>
git flow feature pull <remote> <name>To list/start/finish release branches, use:git flow release
git flow release start <release> [<base>]
git flow release finish <release>For release branches, the<base>arg must be a commit ondevelop.To list/start/finish hotfix branches, use:git flow hotfix
git flow hotfix start <release> [<base>]
git flow hotfix finish <release>For hotfix branches, the<base>arg must be a commit onmaster.To list/start support branches, use:git flow support
git flow support start <release> <base>For support branches, the<base>arg must be a commit onmaster.History of the Projectgitflow was originally developed by Vincent Driessen as a set of
shell-scripts. In Juni 2007 he started a Python rewrite but did not
finish it. In February 2012 Hartmut Goebel started completing the
Python rewrite and asked Vincent to pull his changes. But in June 2012
Vincent closed the pull-request and deleted hispython-rewritebranch. So Hartmut decided to release the Python rewrite on his own.In year 2015 Hartmuts gitflow was abandoned and the python 3
support was missing. So Christian Assing decided to fork his version
and release it as a new python based gitflow alternative.
