Ep #01 – Practical Git & GitHub Setup for Real-World Projects

Most Git & GitHub tutorials look perfect on paper—but break down in real projects.

In this episode of The Developer Show, I break down a practical, production-ready Git & GitHub setup that works for both solo developers and small teams—without unnecessary GitFlow complexity.

We cover:

• A clean branching strategy (main, develop, feature, bugfix, hotfix)

• Simple but powerful commit message conventions

• Minimal, useful GitHub labels

• Issue & pull request templates that improve communication

• Branch protection rules for real production safety

• GitHub Actions for automated testing and quality checks

This framework is designed to balance speed with stability, keeping your Git history clean while allowing teams to move fast.

If you want a Git & GitHub workflow that disappears into the background and lets you focus on building—this episode is for you.
