a simple git branching model

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.

##Setup your server (this would ideally be done with automated provisioning)

add a deploy user with password-less ssh see this gist
install forever npm install -g forever

##Install flightplan

npm install -g flightplan
in your project folder npm install flightplan --save-dev
create a flightplan.js file

Easy UI Regression Testing with Wraith and TravisCI

Introduction

In the past four years, I've learned the hard way about how painful it can be to try and update a codebase used by a large number of applications. Changes that seem innocent can break a specific use case that wasn't anticipated. Do enough manual regression testing and you will catch the bugs, but it's' costly and time consuming process. When things are costly and time consuming, they usually stop being done.

This is why I focus a lot of my efforts towards build process automation. Computers are fantastic about doing boring, repetitive work and never complaining. If you can get them to do the boring chores for you, you spend more time doing the fun, challenging work.

UI Regression testing is one of those spots where I'm looking for automation scripts to take over. Not only because playing "spot the difference" between your builds is boring, but also because [we're horrible at it](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chan
