Does this skill provide branch naming rules?

Yes, it provides standardized conventions for features, bugfixes, hotfixes, and releases, including rules for casing and ticket integration.

Can it help me migrate from one workflow to another?

Absolutely. The skill includes specific migration strategies for common transitions, such as moving from Gitflow to Trunk-Based Development.

When should I choose Gitflow over other models?

Gitflow is ideal for large teams managing scheduled releases, multiple production versions, or enterprise environments requiring high levels of release structure.

Which branching strategy is best for small teams?

GitHub Flow is typically recommended for small teams due to its simplicity, focus on continuous deployment, and low management overhead.

What are the prerequisites for Trunk-Based Development?

Successful Trunk-Based Development requires high automated test coverage, mature CI/CD pipelines, and the use of feature flags to manage incomplete features.
