a simple git branching model

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.

Importing a CSV dump of Postgres data into Heroku
# You have your csv data and it looks like so... It's in a file named "my_data.csv" and we want to import it into a table named "my_things".
"1", "Something", "0.50", "2013-05-05 10:00:00"
"2", "Another thing", "1.50", "2013-06-05 10:30:00"
# Now you want to import it, go to the command line and type:
$ PGPASSWORD=PWHERE psql -h HOSTHERE -U USERHERE DBNAMEHERE -c "\copy my_things FROM 'my_data.csv' WITH CSV;"
# Voila! It's impoted. Now if you want to wipe it out and import a fresh one, you would do this:

Sandi Metz' four rules from Ruby Rogues episode 87. Listen or read the transcript: http://rubyrogues.com/087-rr-book-clubpractical-object-oriented-design-in-ruby-with-sandi-metz/
  1. Your class can be no longer than 100 lines of code.
  2. Your methods can be no longer than five lines of code.
  3. You can pass no more than four parameters and you can’t just make it one big hash.
  4. When a call comes into your Rails controller, you can only instantiate one object to do whatever it is that needs to be done. And your view can only know about one instance variable.

You can break these rules if you can talk your pair into agreeing with you.
