Version Control in React 19

Version control is essential for collaboration, code history, and release management. Use Git and follow industry-standard workflows.

Workflow

  • Use feature branches for new work (e.g., feature/login-page).
  • Use pull requests (PRs) for code review and merging.
  • Write clear, descriptive commit messages.
  • Tag releases for production deployments.

Branching Strategies

  • GitHub Flow: main branch for production, feature branches for development.
  • Git Flow: main, develop, feature, release, and hotfix branches for larger teams.

Best Practices

  • Commit early and often with atomic changes.
  • Rebase feature branches before merging to keep history clean.
  • Resolve merge conflicts promptly and test after merging.
  • Protect main branch with required reviews and CI checks.

Example: Commit Message Format

feat(auth): add login form validation
fix(api): handle 500 errors gracefully

Tools

  • GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket for remote repositories and collaboration.
  • Use CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployment.
