Due to the popularity of this Gist, and the work in keeping it updated via a Gist, all future updates will take place at the above location. Thanks!

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.

Embedding an SSH-accessible REPL in a Clojure process

N.B. This is now a library, thanks to the efforts of the wonderful @mtnygard. And the README does a good job of making clear just how terrible an idea it is to actually do this. :)

As any Clojurist knows, the REPL is an incredibly handy development tool. It can also be useful as a tool for debugging running programs. Of course, this raises the question of how to limit access to the REPL to authorized parties. With the Apache SSHD library, you can embed an SSH server in any JVM process. It takes only a little code to hook this up to a REPL, and to limit access either by public key or
