Following are the branching strategies for different development workflows that we implemented for the client. Strategies for CI-CD based development There will be four main branches created for each project and they are as follows, Develop QA Staging  Pre-Production Main / Production Below is the diagram that represents the strategy with the process automation and audiences, Strategy for develop branch: When a developer starts working on a feature, a feature branch will be create
