Git Flow Integration Plus for Intellij

Available @ JetBrains Plugins Repository

An intelliJ plugin providing a UI layer for git-flow, which in itself is a collection of Git extensions to provide high-level repository operations for Vincent Driessen’s branching model.

Companion agent skill (experimental)

Using an AI coding agent? Check out gitflow-cli-plus — an agent skill companion to this plugin, derived from a functional analysis of its semantics. It ships a SKILL.md that teaches agents the same git-flow operations (init / feature / release / hotfix / bugfix), backed by a small Go CLI binary, follows the AVH edition semantics and config layout, and recognizes repos initialized by git-flow-next through a read-only compatibility layer.

Note: this skill project is currently experimental — expect rough edges, and please report anything you find in its issue tracker.

Getting started

For the best introduction to get started with git flow, please read Jeff Kreeftmeijer’s blog post:

Huge shoutout to Kirill Likhodedov, who wrote much of the original git4idea plugin, without which this plugin could not exist

Who and why

This plugin was created by Opher Vishnia, after I couldn’t find any similar implementation. I saw this suggestion page on the JetBrains site has more than 220 likes and 80 comments, and decided to take up the gauntlet :)
