GIT FLOW Feature Branches

Each new feature should reside in its own branch, which can be pushed to the central repository for
backup/collaboration. But, instead of branching off of Production/Live, feature branches use develop as their parent
branch. When a feature is complete, it gets merged into development. Features should never interact directly with
Production/Live.

Note that feature branches combined with the development branch is, for all intents and purposes, the Feature
Branch Workflow. But, the Git flow Workflow doesn’t stop there.
Feature branches are generally created off to the latest beta branch.

Creating a feature branch Pass user acceptance testing

git checkout beta (UAT)
