## What it is
A collection of Git extensions implementing Vincent Driessen's git-flow branching model, maintained as the AVH Edition fork with additional features beyond the original. It provides high-level commands like feature, release, and hotfix branch management from the command line.

## Use cases
- manage feature branches with git flow
- automate release and hotfix branching
- adopt Vincent Driessen's branching model
- simplify git branch workflows for versioned software
- install git-flow with extra AVH features

## When to choose
- your team follows the git-flow branching model
- you maintain explicitly versioned software or support multiple versions in the wild
- you want the actively extended AVH fork of git-flow

## When to avoid
- your team practices continuous delivery with a simpler flow like GitHub flow
- you prefer trunk-based development
- you need a tool with frequent recent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools, version-control, workflow-automation, cli
- domain: developer-tools, version-control
- platform: windows, cli, cross-platform
- tags: git-flow, git-extensions, branching-model, shell, avh-edition, command-line, linux, macos
