Feature Branch Workflow Tool

Question

Is there an extension for git, like GitFlow but uses the Feature Branch Workflow, meaning:

• master
• feature branches
• pull requests to master

Answer 1

There are git-extras, a collection of wrapper commands for git. You could have a look at pull-request, which creates a PR on GitHub (if you use GitLab instead, check their API to port this).

Some other interesting commands (not adding much to vanilla git though):

• git-create-branch: Create, pull and track a new remote (feature) branch.
• git-delete-merged-branches: E. g. to clean up after merging a feature branch.

Also there is hub, having a similar command git pull-request that create a PR for the current feature branch.

I think, these are not really what you want, but – depending on what platform you use for pull requests – you could combine some commands in a suite that comes quite close and support your workflow.
