How to install git-flow

Git-flow is distributed version control system used by most development teams. The codebase is maintained by its own authors rather than by a vendor.

About the project

Git-flow is distributed version control system used by most development teams. The maintainers own the project, choose releases, and publish their own documentation. This page records a few things worth knowing before you begin.

Governance sits with the project's own team. They decide what ships, how often it ships, and which platforms are supported.

How projects are distributed

Distribution depends on the project. Common routes include the system package index, a language registry, a version manager, or a source build described in the project documentation.

Platform requirements

Look at the supported versions before anything else. Projects narrow their platform range over time, and older systems can be dropped without much warning.

Checking the result

If the outcome differs from what you expected, the cause is nearly always resolution rather than the project itself — an older copy, a different channel, or a stale cache.

A note about this domain

Nothing is published from this domain beyond text. Projects stay where their maintainers put them.
