GIT: Centralized Workflow simple question

Question

I am new to GIT. I am using Centralized Workflow like SVN.

GIT works great for DEV(local repository) to PROD(remote repository) structure.

Now, we hired a QA/tester. QA/Tester must approve dev changes before remote pushing to PROD.

Question: How would QA/Tester get DEV's repository to test?

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

There are many different git workflows that will solve your problem. Too many to list here.

The simplest answer is that you should use branches. Develop your code on a branch named develop (in both your local and remote repositories), and have the tester merge that branch into master periodically when it passes testing.

You should read about some different git workflows and decide which would suit you best:

• Trunk Based Development
• Gitflow
• Centralized
• Feature Branch
