Track how code evolves through branches, commits, and merges in your development workflow. This template visualizes your Git history, making it easy to explain branching strategies to new team members, plan release workflows, or document how features move from development to production.

How to create a Version Control Flow Diagram

To create a version control flow diagram, follow these steps:

01.
Identify main branch
Start with your primary branch (usually main or master) as the foundation.
02.
Map branch points
Determine where and when new branches are created for features, fixes, or experiments.
03.
Track commits
Show the progression of commits along each branch to represent development progress.
04.
Indicate merges
Identify where branches merge back into main or into other branches.
05.
Label branches clearly
Name each branch according to its purpose (develop, feature, hotfix, release).
06.
Show chronology
Arrange commits and merges in time sequence from earliest to most recent.
07.
Add context
Include branch names, commit messages, or version numbers that help tell the story.
08.
Review & share
Use the diagram in code reviews, sprint planning, or to onboard developers to your branching strategy.
