What is flow control?

We can follow a flow control approach to represent the stable state of commits.

Usually, the stable branch moves slowly forward. A compilable working branch is based on the stable branch and moves forward faster. We may call it a nightly build. Based on the working implementation, there are feature branches that are being implemented and often not working.

Flow control is the control of different levels of stability by using different branches’ conventions to represent them. It’s also the ability to switch between them in different scenarios.
