We build on-premise medical software where we must support major versions 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 in production simultaneously with dedicated QA validation cycles before every patch release. Which Git branching model is built for managing multiple concurrent release versions?

Implement structured Git workflows for team collaboration, code quality, and automated releases. This skill covers branching strategies, conventional commit formats, Git hooks, and monorepo management patterns.
Use this skill when:
Use when the team has strong CI/CD automation, comprehensive test coverage (80%+), and deploys frequently (daily or more). Short-lived branches merge within 1 day. Requires feature flags for incomplete features.
Best for: High-velocity teams with mature DevOps practices (Google, Facebook, Netflix)
Use for web applications with continuous deployment. Main branch always represents production. Simple PR-based workflow for small to medium teams (2-20 developers).
Best for: Startups, SaaS products, open-source projects
Use when supporting multiple production versions simultaneously, requiring formal QA cycles, or following scheduled releases (monthly, quarterly). More complex but structured.
Best for: Enterprise software, mobile apps with App Store releases, on-premise products
