About This Book

**Managing Full-Stack Projects with Git and CI/CD Pipelines: Version Control, Branching, and Automation Strategies for Frontend and Backend Teams** is the definitive guide for development teams seeking to master the complexities of modern full-stack project management. This comprehensive resource addresses the critical challenges facing today's development organizations: coordinating between frontend and backend teams, implementing scalable version control strategies, and orchestrating automated pipelines that ensure code quality while maintaining development velocity. The book provides practical, battle-tested approaches to managing Git repositories that serve multiple teams efficiently, implementing branching strategies that scale with organizational growth, and designing CI/CD pipelines that catch issues early without overwhelming infrastructure resources. Each chapter builds upon proven management principles, offering not just technical implementation details but the strategic reasoning behind each approach. Readers will discover advanced techniques for managing merge conflicts before they become project bottlenecks, organizing repository structures that support both monolithic and microservice architectures, and implementing automated workflows that enhance team collaboration. The book covers essential topics including dependency management across multiple technology stacks, security scanning integration, automated testing strategies, and deployment orchestration for complex full-stack applications. Written by experienced practitioners who have successfully managed large-scale development projects, this book bridges the gap between knowing individual tools and orchestrating them cohesively in real-world environments. The accompanying appendices provide quick-reference materials, sample configurations, and practical checklists that support ongoing implementation efforts. Whether you're leading a development team, architecting CI/CD infrastructure, or seeking to understand the broader ecosystem of modern development workflows, this book provides the knowledge and confidence needed to manage full-stack projects effectively in any organizational context.
