I've worked with GitFlow on larger projects. Feature branches, develop branches, release branches, hotfix branches. The branch graph looked like a subway map. Merging a feature required a PhD in conflict resolution.
Now I use trunk-based development. One branch. Ship from main. My deploy frequency went from weekly to daily.
Why Most Git Workflows Are Over-Complicated
GitFlow was designed for software that ships quarterly on physical media. If your deployment process involves burning a CD, you need release branches.
If you deploy by merging to main and Vercel/GitHub Actions handles the rest, you don't need 90% of GitFlow.
