git-flow: Start developing on a feature branch based on `develop`.
$ git flow feature start ${feature}
try on your machine
The command "git flow feature start ${feature}" is used to start a new feature branch in Git using the Git Flow branching model.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "git flow" is a set of Git extensions that implement the Git Flow branching model, which provides a structured approach to repository management.
- "feature" is a subcommand in Git Flow used for creating and managing feature branches.
- "start" is an action specified within the "feature" subcommand that starts a new feature branch.
- "${feature}" is a placeholder for the name of the feature branch you want to create. You should replace it with the desired name for your feature branch (e.g., my-feature).
When you execute the "git flow feature start ${feature}" command, Git Flow will create a new branch based on the "develop" branch and switch you to that new feature branch. This allows you to work on the new feature without affecting the main codebase until it is ready to be merged back into the development branch.
