How to Integrate Task Management with Git Workflow
Task management disconnected from Git creates duplicate work and stale status. GitScrum integrates directly with your Git workflow—branches link to tasks via naming conventions, commits reference task IDs, and PR activity can trigger status updates, keeping project management in sync with actual development.

Workflow Example
From Task to Merge
INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT FLOW:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ TASK THROUGH DEVELOPMENT LIFECYCLE │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │
│ 1. PICK TASK: │
│ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐│
│ │ • Developer picks TASK-123 from Ready column ││
│ │ • Moves to "In Development" ││
│ │ • Notes task ID for branch naming ││
│ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘│
│ │
│ 2. CREATE BRANCH: │
│ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐│
│ │ git checkout -b feature/TASK-123-add-login ││
│ │ ││
│ │ → Branch linked to task automatically ││
│ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘│
│ │
│ 3. DEVELOP AND COMMIT: │
│ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐│
│ │ git commit -m "feat: add login form [TASK-123]" ││
│ │ git commit -m "test: add login tests [TASK-123]" ││
│ │ ││
│ │ → Commits visible in task activity ││
│ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘│
│ │
│ 4. OPEN PR: │
│ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐│
│ │ PR: "[TASK-123] Add user login feature" ││
│ │ ││
│ │ → Task can move to "In Review" automatically ││
│ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘│
│ │
│ 5. MERGE: │
│ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐│
│ │ PR merged to main ││
│ │ ││
│ │ → Task moves to "Done" ││
│ │ → Complete audit trail available ││
│ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘│
