Comment on Successful GitHub Development

Comments

git-flow is not needed, especially for small projects. For most repositories, developing on and sending pull requests to master is acceptable.

Agreed. The branching model used by the git project itself is quite effective. Introducing an additional tool isn't always needed.

If there existed a git-next tool to document that workflow then it might be more widely known, I guess. There probably is no tool because it's all just normal git stuff.

The document mentions:

  - The tip of 'master' is meant to be more stable than any
    tagged releases, and the users are encouraged to follow it.
