title: Gitflow with Gitlab
body: <p>I researched this topic quite a bit but was not able so far to find an answer.</p>
  
  <p>We deployed a GitLab-CE appliance and are very happy with the decision so far.
  We also follow and use the gitflow principles.</p>
  
  <p>On thing which bothers me and which I would like to find a solution to is that
  with gitflow, when a developer finishes a feature/bugfix/... with: </p>
  
  <pre><code>git flow feature finish foo
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>AFAIK git flow will merge the foo branch to develop. Which wont help when using GitLab for the Team.</p>
  
  <p>Because on origin we currently protect master and develop. So it is not allowed to push to these branches. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to alter the gitflow configuration or another kind of solution to combine gitflow with GitLab?</p>
  
  <p>We als currently try to figure out which solution is the best to get CI up and going. When this is done, merges to develop could be allowed again.</p>
  
  <p>Any links, tutorials and so on would be helpful.</p>
