Can we create feature branch from release branch

Question

I am practising git these days. I have a query regarding best pratice on creating feature branches. In my project, creating release branches first from develop branch and then creating feature branches from these release branch.

But when I searched in google, I found that feature branches getting branched off from develop branch and then while release time these feature branches gets merged again into develop, and then release branch gets branched off from develop branch.

May I know are we going to face any issues with the approach following in our project, please clear me.

Answer 1

For the branching structure, preferable branching structure is to create a

1. master branch as a production branch
2. create a staging branch from master
3. and then create a develop branch from staging branch
4. and also practice creating all feature branches from staging branch
5. And to test all features together in the development environment merge feature branchs to develop branch

6. At the time of release, merge feature branch to staging branch and then staging branch to master branch.

7. After release, delete the feature branch.
8. And rebase other feature branches with staging branch.
