I love git flow but the GitHub tooling is bad. It forces you into GitHubflow which is very confusing for those building from source

I know this is a meme but what is it from
The 15yo "source" for the sloppy plagiarism: https://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/
holy fuck, it's basically the time I followed a tutorial for generating "a witch" for AI art, and ended up with a horribly mangled MTG card
It's still not a bad system if you have to support and provide bugfixes for multiple versions of software. However, if you only support the latest version and only create bug fixes and features based on the latest release or main branch, then git-flow is way overkill.
It's an atrocious, pointlessly complicated system resulting in convoluted project histories prone to confusion. Trunk-based development with sensible tags of releases & hotfixes achieves the same thing without the junk complexity. Git flow isn't overkill, it's just ill-conceived.
I feel it's a bad sign that I'm saving this meme for use at work
Everybody has a testing environment. Some people are lucky enough enough to have a totally separate environment to run production in.
And Microsoft stole it from a different developer, who posted it back in 2011... and then ran it through Copilot without even checking it thoroughly before adding it to training documentation.
