Git flow (for Github) Extension

This extension adds Git-flow functionality to Github.

Github, by default, does not offer much functionality to work with Git-flow. You still have to watch out a lot, and make sure you don't compare to the wrong branch. This extension takes that all out of your hands.

This extension also enables pull request templates.
