When NOT to use git-branchless
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- Avoid if working with small projects where the simplicity of standard Git workflows is sufficient and the added complexity of branchless can be an unnecessary overhead.
- Not ideal for environments that strictly adhere to traditional linear or feature branching strategies, as the benefits of git-branchless might not align well without substantial workflow adaptation.
