Overview

The purpose of this gist is to explain some recommendations for managing versions for gems and applications. Specifically, the concepts will be the following:

How do we version? What are the conventions for branches and releases?
When do we tag? Can I tag if it is not a release?
When do we branch, and how long should that branch live?
What is upstream and what is downstream?

By the time we reach the conclusion hopefully you've discovered the answers to all of these questions!

	You can create a new empty branch like this:

	$ git checkout --orphan NEWBRANCH

	--orphan creates a new branch, but it starts without any commit. After running the above command you are on a new branch "NEWBRANCH", and the first commit you create from this state will start a new history without any ancestry.

	The --orphan command keeps the index and the working tree files intact in order to make it convenient for creating a new history whose trees resemble the ones from the original branch.

	Since you want to create a new empty branch that has nothing to do with the original branch, you can delete all files in the new working directory:

	#!/bin/bash
	#
	# DESCRIPTION:
	#
	# Set the bash prompt according to:
	# * the active virtualenv
	# * the branch of the current git/mercurial repository
	# * the return value of the previous command
	# * the fact you just came from Windows and are used to having newlines in
	# your prompts.

	#!/bin/bash

	apt-get -y update
	apt-get -y install build-essential ruby-dev git curl build-essential libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libssl-dev autoconf

	if [ ! -e /opt/chef/bin/chef-solo ] ; then
	curl -L https://www.opscode.com/chef/install.sh \| bash
	fi
	if [ ! -e /opt/chef/embedded/bin/berks ] ; then
	/opt/chef/embedded/bin/gem install berkshelf --no-ri --no-rdoc

	# This function lets you easily create series of commands into a single call
	# It will print each successive command, run it and, as long as it returned
	# with code 0, continue to the next step.
	# If any step fails, it will stop and let you pick it back up after you fix the
	# issues.
