GitLab Flow

Definitions

1. A Git workflow associated with GitLab that blends ideas from feature branching, environment-based branching, and release management. In engineering culture, GitLab Flow is often chosen by teams that need more structure than GitHub Flow but less ceremony than some older branching models.

   In plain English: A GitLab-associated Git workflow combining feature and environment-aware branching ideas.

   Example: "They adopted GitLab Flow because their release process needed a clearer relationship between environments and branches than the simpler mainline-only workflow provided."
