Does this skill support both small and large team workflows?

Yes, it provides patterns for GitHub Flow (ideal for small teams/CD) and Git Flow or GitLab Flow (better suited for large-scale enterprise releases).

How do standard prefixes like 'feature/' or 'fix/' help?

Prefixes categorize work at a glance, allowing developers to immediately distinguish between new functionality, bug fixes, documentation, or infrastructure changes.

Can this skill help with merge conflicts?

By promoting smaller, focused feature branches and frequent integration via rebase or merge patterns, it significantly reduces the likelihood and complexity of merge conflicts.

What is Git Storytelling in branch management?
