git-flow-next Modernizes Git Branching for AI Teams

git-flow-next’s strongest argument is making branch dependencies and worktrees first-class for agent-heavy teams, not simply reviving classic GitFlow. The tradeoff is that GitFlow’s ceremony can still feel excessive for teams committed to trunk-based development.

• –Existing git-flow and git-flow-avh users can migrate without abandoning familiar configurations.
• –Custom presets support GitFlow, GitHub Flow, GitLab Flow, or bespoke branch models.
• –Worktree-aware workflows reduce branch switching and collisions when multiple coding agents work in parallel.
• –Dependency-ordered merges help prevent `main` and `develop` from drifting apart.
• –Teams should weigh these safeguards against the operational overhead of maintaining more branches.
