Git Flow Part 2 - Using Git Flow in Source Tree Tutorial

If you are not comfortable using the command line, you can use Git Flow using SourceTree. In this video, I explain how to use the simple "Git Flow" feature, in SourceTree to manage your code.

Really enjoy how you have the slide show that explains the process and then you show how its done. Im a visual learner so that helped my understand quickly.

This is an awesome tutorial, I love the way you explain things, first theory then practice. I had no idea what gitflow was before watching the video, I understand it perfectly now. Thanks!

Thanks for making this video. I've read a few articles on the Gitflow, but it's always nice to see it fleshed out like this, and in Windows for once :)

Too bad I found this in the middle of development. This would be very useful if I start earlier. Thanks for the tutorial!

This has been the most straightforward explanation I've seen, and really helped me get my head around GitFlow. I've got one suggestion and one question: 1) Suggestion: perhaps include adding a remote repository. This was actually the thing I was least clear about (especially when it came to branches), and I kind of fumbled through that. 2) Question: after finishing the Release branch (and the Hotfix too), there appears to be an instruction in bold: 'Merge branch 'release/v.1.0.0' into develop'. This seems to be an instruction, but I'm not really clear on what to do. Am I missing something?

Hi there, In the latest SourceTree version for Mac (as of 15 March 2018) when you finish off a feature, even though the option to delete the branch is already ticked, the feature branch does not get deleted. I tried this twice, as well as close the app and launch it again, to no avail. Has anybody else encountered this?

[drfritz]

Thanks, Reval, nice one, too! One question: how would collaboration with others via an online remote fit into the picture? Am I right in assuming that developers only work on the develop branch and their features, pulling/pushing their stuff respetively, and - let's say - a project manager only takes care of the release branch and merges from dev into release and then back from release into dev and master (and similarly for hotfix)?

[thanhvietnguyen]

Thank you, It's so useful for me ^_^

[Bengha]

Didn't you torget to add a new version tag when you finished the hotfix?
