a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.

• The idea of the internet is to make everyone a publisher
• In contrast to Apps there is no gatekeeper
• Grunt an SASS and so on are great but raise the entry bar for content creation
• Geocities: Founded 1994. 3rd most visited on the web. Never the prettiest, but also a playground for everyone, for normal people.
• 1999 Yahoo acquired Geocities, in 2009 it was shut down and 15 years of content were just wiped out
• The content might be mostly ugly, but it is also a fragment of history
