A Git Workflow for Small Teams

A Git Workflow for Small Teams

Short summary

A practical Git workflow for small teams (2-3 people) building SaaS products, combining trunk-based development with useful elements of GitFlow. Features short-lived feature branches off main, standardized branch naming (type/description format), and Conventional Commits for automated changelog generation. The approach scales down to solo founders and up reasonably far before needing changes.

  • •Trunk-based development with short-lived feature branches is ideal for small SaaS teams
  • •Standardized branch naming (feat/fix/chore/refactor) maps to Conventional Commits for tooling
  • •Short-lived branches (1-2 days) minimize drift and keep merges reviewable

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
