Using Git and GitHub for Laravel Projects

Sep 14, 2026

Git helps developers safely track changes, experiment with features, and collaborate with teams.

A simple Laravel workflow can use separate development and testing branches before production deployment.

Recommended Workflow

  1. Create a feature branch from the development branch.
  2. Commit focused changes with meaningful messages.
  3. Push the branch to GitHub.
  4. Open a pull request for review.
  5. Merge after testing and validation.

Consistent Git practices reduce deployment risks and make project history easier to understand.
