Git Flow is a strict branching model for managing workflow in Git projects. It was created by Vincent Driessen to provide a robust framework for managing features, releases, and bug fixes. The model uses long-living branches for development (develop), releases (master), features, and hotfixes, along with clear guidelines on how to integrate these branches. It aims to make collaboration easier by clearly defining roles for different branches and standardizing the development process.
