DevOps Complete Course - Branches in DevOps Workflow

The lecture discusses a branching strategy involving development, test, QA, and production branches. It explains the process of testing code on local systems, deploying it to test branches, and ensuring it works before moving to QA and production. The lecture also covers version management, where working code is labeled as a version and deployed accordingly. Continuous enhancement of code is emphasized, with developers working on new features while maintaining stable versions for production. The strategy allows flexibility in branch names and numbers, ensuring a robust workflow.
