Git Branching Strategy Every Engineer Uses (Vibe Coders Too)

Coding Tools◆ Advanced@itsthatlady.devsaved JUN 24

◇ Could this help me?

Yes: This branching strategy (feature → dev → staging → main) is directly applicable to any project including this one. General Claude Code update. Always create feature branches and never commit directly to main.

✦ Walkthrough+10 xp / step

Never push directly to main.
Create a feature branch for every new feature: one branch per feature.
Merge feature branches into dev (your active development branch).
Merge dev into staging to do a dress rehearsal: staging mirrors production exactly.
Only merge staging into main after testing passes.
Enable branch protection rules on main: require reviews, block direct pushes.
This gives you a one-click rollback if something breaks in production.

Set up branch protection on main for this repo and walk me through creating a dev and staging branch. Then show me the workflow for creating a feature branch and opening a PR into dev.
