You must not understand what CD really means then, because full CD is impossible with feature branches. CD means every commit gets built and delivered all the way prod if it passes all tests. The key word is "continuous" as in, every single commit. Branch based means you only deliver once you merge. Merging is a manual step, so your not doing full-CD. The merge is basically your "trigger" and your doing "delivery when I am ready"
