A git workflow

The flexibility of a distributed version control system can make deciding on a branching strategy somewhat difficult. Tons has been written on git workflows - one writeup that I love is Atlassian Blog's Simple Git workflow is simple.

	# functions, mutations tend to cause a ripple effect throughout the cell.

	# the cell with a beneficial attribute. In fact, the macro effects of
	# evolution are attributable by the accumulated result of beneficial
