What are the patterns for using git?

Question

git

Hello! I decided to learn how to use the git, but I don’t know how to properly manage my project. Someone advised me to make a new branch every 2 hours. Somewhere just a lot of commits, someone every half an hour, someone every day. Is there an article somewhere, a manual, where you can find out all this? Thanks in advance)

Answer 1

making a branch every N minutes/hours is nonsense.
the branch should be logical: saw a new feature - make a new branch, saw a new version - make a new branch, you need to check / experiment something - make a new branch.
commits - the more often, the better, especially if a lot of people are working on the code. but also not by the stopwatch.
there are no hard and fast rules, just use common sense. over time, you yourself will come to what is convenient and what is not very.
well, read about git flow.
