Instead of using the tag, you can create a release branch

Yes, we create branch from the tag in case a version needs patching.

which removes the need for a dev branch

Um no. Put another way, our dev branch uses the same pull request flow but longer lived.

How do you manage bug fixes to your master release and propagating those changes back into dev?

Bug fixes are squash merged from the pull request branches into master, then the dev branch rebase from master.

Yes I understand. I didn’t realise you were gutted a release branch from master as well, I understood you were just using the git tag!
