I've been working at my company for a few years now and have taught myself Python mainly for data-related tasks and some light automation. Recently, we've built up a small analyst team of four who are also learning to use Python and write scripts. I'm trying to instill better coding practices, especially concerning the use of environments and version control. While I have some experience with git from personal projects, I'm unsure how to set it up effectively for a team. Additionally, everyone on the team has their unique coding style, and I would appreciate tips on how to standardize our approach and make maintenance manageable for the future.

There are lots of ways to use git, and it's super flexible. If you're unsure where to start, I recommend considering a trunk-based development strategy. It's pretty straightforward and minimizes potential issues, making it easier for everyone to contribute without stepping on each other's toes.
Thanks for the suggestion! I can see how trunk-based development works well for larger projects, but do you think it's applicable for smaller, self-contained scripts? I also like the idea of code reviews for significant changes before moving to production.
