I've been reading up on Git, trying to figure out how to document a process that works for everyone, and it just isn't working. All I know is how I want to do things, and I can only guess what would work best for everyone. So instead of my sitting here writing down guidelines, which might get set in stone even if they don't really work for you, let's actually talk about it, and then document the hell out of what we decide on.

Big bold critical disclaimer: If you are uncomfortable with really vague instructions and a process that might break at any point, just hang back and wait! This is the "We need people to try doing this so we know where the major stress points are" step.

Other disclaimer: We'll document what seems a reasonable way to do things to make it easier for anyone coming in, but that doesn't mean you need to stick to the script strictly. You can manage your code on your end however you'd like -- so long as you send that pull request!

Useful links:

  • github:help -- check out the beginner and intermediate sections, as well as further git resources. I don't think we'll need anything from the other sections, until we run into specific issues.

  • Git flow -- abstraction on top of Git to make the most common workflow more convenient
