Git Workflows: Centralized and Feature-branch

Git workflows include the Centralized, Feature-branch, Gitflow, and Forking workflows.
The Centralized Workflow is inspired by centralized version control systems like Subversion.
In the Centralized Workflow, a single branch, typically the master branch, is used for all operations.
It is simple, with a single main repository into which every developer syncs their changes.
The Centralized Workflow is advantageous for beginners and smaller teams but gets tedious with increased team size.
It is suitable for those new to Git and for managing personal projects.
The Feature-branch Workflow introduces separate branches for specific changes in the codebase.
It follows the concept of feature development in separate branches without affecting the master branch.
In the Feature-branch Workflow, developers create new local branches for each feature they start.
It allows for detailed code reviews before merging into the main codebase.
Developers must never directly commit to the local master branch in the Feature-branch Workflow.
This workflow gives more control over code and solves the issues of scaling up.

This workflow allows for detailed code review before merging into the main codebase, facilitating feature-rich discussions.
Developers must never directly commit to the local master branch and should pull changes from the core master to keep it up to date.
The Feature-branch Workflow provides more control over the code and solves issues of scaling up.
The Centralized Workflow is suitable for beginners and small teams, while the Feature-branch Workflow is beneficial for detailed code review and more control over the code.
