merge hotfix branch to release branch?

[Carlos Arturo Guerra Parra]

I am a new gitflow user. It is really amazing, not only the software, but mainly the work-flow that I did not know.

But I have some doubt:

When you finish a hotfix branch, it is merged into develop and into master. Why is not there a merge to release?

I think it is better because the bug can be fixed also in release branch and this branch can be correctly tested without bug.

Maybe I am wrong, so I will be gratefull if somebody can explain me it.

Thank you very much!!!

Carlos.

Master is a release branch.
The branch named release/X.Y is just temporary workspace on a side until X.Y is released. Releasing means merge into master, thus master is equivalent to release branch afterwards. And, release/X.Y is deleted.
Finally hotfix goes to (released) master.
