Is there a recommended Git workflow for solo developers who want to simulate a team workflow? #202704

🏷️ Discussion TypeQuestion 💬 Feature/Topic AreaCode Search and Navigation BodyI've been practicing GitHub workflows by using separate accounts to simulate a team environment (opening pull requests, reviewing changes, and merging them). It has helped me understand how collaborative development works. I'm curious how other developers practice these workflows when working alone.
I'd love to hear how others approach this and whether there are better ways to practice collaborative Git workflows. |

've been doing something similar to learn GitHub workflows. Instead of pushing everything directly to main, I create feature branches, open pull requests, and review my own changes before merging. If you want to simulate a real team, using a second GitHub account can be useful. You can assign reviews, test branch protection rules, and see the entire PR process from both the contributor and reviewer perspectives. Another thing that helped me was enabling branch protection and requiring pull requests before merging. It makes even solo projects follow a more professional workflow. I also use GitHub Issues and Projects to plan tasks before creating feature branches. It makes the workflow feel much closer to working on an actual team. |
