Git Flow

Plugin for Nexion that implements a structured git-flow workflow — create and finish feature, hotfix, and release branches from the Command Palette.

Features

• Feature branches — branch from develop, merge with --no-ff on finish
• Hotfix branches — branch from main, merge into main and develop, auto-tagging
• Release branches — branch from develop, merge into main and backmerge into develop, auto-tagging
• Status — shows current branch and active flow type
• Auto-tagging — creates version tags (e.g. v1.0.0) for releases and hotfixes
• Auto-cleanup — deletes the branch after merge
• UI refresh — refreshes Nexion's Git view after each operation
