Git Flow - Config file

[Tanddant]

We're using the git flow option in Fork in our team, and really like it - however everyone having to initialize the flow for the same repo creates some headaches (especially because some clients have requirements for naming of the main branch) - is there an option to push a config file to the repo that fork will find and respect?

Something like

flow.config.fork placed in the root of the library, and then just a simple naming definition

Production: main
Development: develop
Feature: feature/
Release: release/
Hotfix: hotfix/
VersionPrefix:

No, there is no such option.

1. Git-flow is an independent open-source project.
2. Git-flow is deprecated.

gitlfow settings are simply stored in the .git/config file in the repository

.git/config:

...
[gitflow "branch"]
	master = master
	develop = develop
[gitflow "prefix"]
	feature = feature/
	release = release/
	hotfix = hotfix/
	versiontag = 
	support = support/
...

You can create an .sh script which will create those variables. Example to give you an idea:

init-git-flow.sh

#!/bin/sh

git branch --no-track 'main'
git branch --no-track 'develop'

git config gitflow.branch.master master
git config gitflow.branch.develop develop
git config gitflow.prefix.feature feature/
git config gitflow.prefix.release release/
git config gitflow.prefix.hotfix hotfix/
git config gitflow.prefix.bugfix bugfix/
git config gitflow.prefix.support support/
git config gitflow.prefix.versiontag ""

git flow init -f

./init-git-flow.sh

Thanks, I'll look into that! - and find a good way to ensure that everyone aligns 😊
