In today’s world of CI/CD pipelines where new versions of our production and test code have to be checked out at speed multiple times per day, it matters which branching strategy your team chooses.

Git is probably the most well-known and used version control system worldwide these days. In this talk, Simon is going to share some of the personal experiences he has collected over the past couple of years in using Git. He will have a look at some of today’s top most-used real-world branching strategies so afterward you will be able to compare them by yourself and choose the one which fits the most into your unique context.
