I assume a lot of people are familiar with https://github.com/nvie/gitflow It is implemented as a bunch of scripts that must be added the the PATH.
My question: is gradle the right tool for implementing a branching and versioning model? What parts would you leave out to be performed as git extensions or by the CI system (Jenkins or other)?
I am tempted to think that the CI is just a dumb gradle task executor with special permissions to publish releases to official repositories. So there should be no build logic in the CI other than calling gradle.
Opinions?
