title: What advantages does the bitbucket branch structure provide?
body: <p>I am using GitLab as a repository in my enterprise and I am trying to investigate some standards in branch management. I have seen <a href="https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver/using-branches-in-bitbucket-server-776639968.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a>, which is the recommendation about branch structure for Bitbucket.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to know which advantages it provides in comparison to an easier structure like master branch and other branches coming from it.</p>
  
  <p>I understand that the standard is a folder structure inside the <em>origin</em> server, where you can find: master, hotfix, feature, bugfix, and release folders, where each folder has the associated branches.</p>
  
  <p>Is it correct?
  Can you provide me with some more information to understand it better?</p>
