Branch
A branch is a safe lane for change. Teams isolate work so unfinished code does not break production.
DevOps Teaching Visualizer
Git Branching Strategy Visualizer
Learn how modern teams ship software with Git by comparing proven branching strategies and seeing how CI/CD tools handle normal delivery, emergency fixes, and rollback.
How to use this page: pick a strategy and scenario for Git branch flow, then confirm where validation builds run versus where release artifacts are built and deployed. In general, feature branches validate changes, while main or trunk produces the deployable artifact.
Core Concepts In Plain Language
Pull or Merge Request
Requests are quality gates where reviewers and automation verify the change before integration.
CI Pipeline
CI validates every commit with build, tests, and security scans. Green pipeline means safe to promote.
CD Promotion
CD deploys the same tested artifact through environments with approvals, monitoring, and rollback controls.
