Programmatically determine if git-flow is initialized

Question

Is there any way to do this? Is the repo read initialized if it just has git -flow directives in .git/config , e.g.

 .... [gitflow "branch"] master = master develop = develop [gitflow "prefix"] feature = feature/ release = release/ hotfix = hotfix/ support = support/ versiontag = v 

?

Answer 1

The answer is here . Primarily:

• Check configuration for gitflow.branch.master and if branch exists in repo
• Check the configuration for gitflow.branch.develop and if the branch exists in the repo
• A master branch cannot be the same as a development branch.
• Make sure all prefixes are configured.
