When you\u2019re developing in WordPress and creating your own custom plugin or theme, you need to use version control. It makes it easier to keep track of changes in your code and the evolution of your project.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To separate different offshoots of work in your code, you need development branches. How you manage those branches can really make or break your development process.<\/p>\n

This way of working with branches is called a workflow<\/strong>. It helps prevent inefficiencies, wasted time, or even broken code that might otherwise occur due to poor branch management or lack of coordination within your team.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve worked with two types of workflow: Git Flow and trunk-based development. I will share my experience with each and how trunk-based development has emerged as a better solution in WordPress development.<\/p>\n

Problems with Git Flow<\/h2>\n

For a long time, I\u2019ve worked with the Git Flow methodology \u2013 a setup designed so your main branch consists only of code for new versions, while a separate development branch consists of all the ongoing changes to different features.<\/p>\n
