Why Git Flow Fails Your First CI/CD Pipeline — And How One Branch Fixes It
You geared up for Git Flow's branches and merges, expecting pro-level CI/CD glory. Reality? It stalls you debugging Git instead of deploying code. Here's the radical simple fix.
⚡ Key Takeaways
- Single main branch trumps Git Flow for quick, reliable CI/CD setups by slashing Git-related failures.
- Push in layers: project → hygiene → docker → sonar → .gitlab-ci.yml → fixes for visible progress.
- Avoid tokens, caches; pin pipelines to main for determinism — scale branches later.
