What’s on the Branching Models poster
A 4-row table: Model · Branches · Suits.
How teams organise branches around releasing.
- Trunk-based — main + short-lived — Continuous deployment
- GitHub flow — main + feature — Web apps, frequent deploys
- Git flow — main, develop, release, hotfix — Versioned releases
- Release branches — main + release/x.y — Supporting old versions
Long-lived branches make merges painful in direct proportion to their age. Short branches are the single biggest lever.

- Who is the Branching Models poster for?
- Branching Models belongs to the Computing section rather than to a school year, because computing is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning languages can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Branching Models poster?
- Pick by release cadence. Continuous deployment and quarterly releases need different models. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Branching Models belongs on the wall where that computing work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Branching Models?

- Is the Branching Models poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Branching Models downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Computing section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Branching Models poster print at?
- Branching Models is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Branching Models loses nothing.Printing guide
