[lug] Fwd: SCM Workflow

[jeffrey.haemer at gmail.com]

Ladies & Gentlemen,

Some folks wanted more information on the git-flow model/tool that Jeremy
and Nathan were endorsing last night. I'm with them -- I use it for my own
work.

Here's an excerpt from a note I sent, last week, to the folks I'm doing some
SCM consulting for, with pointers to more info.

HTH.

Subject: SCM Workflow

At some point, we should talk about workflow: specifically, we should make
guidelines & conventions for the structure of the tree, for who checks in
and out where & when, and for branch and tag management.  It'll help keep
things sane.

In the git world, there's rather a lot of discussion about workflow models,
but most of it isn't git-specific; you could implement them for whatever SCM
system you have.

One popular model is called git-flow.  I use it for my own work, because (a)
it's reasonable for what I do and (b) folks have now written tools to
enforce/encourage it. (I can show you in stuff I'm doing here.) I've tacked
on some links, below, describing the model, which come right off of the
GitHub repo for git-flow itself.
