Keep your branches simple.

How GitHub does branching:

MASTER

BRANCH

Everyone can push, everyone can deploy.

Frees up your time frommicromanaging someone else’s code.

Master is always deployable.

Master is always deployable. We deploy 10-40 times a day.

If you’re nervous, deploy to staging.Or deploy a branch. Or deploy to a subsetof our production boxes.

TWITTER-DRIVEN DEVELOPMENTCHECK TWITTER, SEE IF YOU BONED A DEPLOY

Keep your branches simple.

What about code quality?

OOH! FUTURISTIC!

Pull Requests are our code review.

PULL REQUEST

BIG SECRET #1PULL REQUESTS:YOU DON’T NEEDTO FORK ANYTHING.

WHY PULL REQUESTS ARE RAD:

REASONS4

WHY PULL REQUESTS ARE RAD: ASYNCHRONOUS

No meetings.

WHY PULL REQUESTS ARE RAD: NOTIFICATIONS

Email is your interface.

WHY PULL REQUESTS ARE RAD: ACCESSIBLE

Designers can evolve mockups and entire workflows.

Non-technical staff can add their two cents.

WHY PULL REQUESTS ARE RAD: HISTORICAL

Pull Requests can be experiments.

Try something out, throw it away, retain a history.

PULL REQUESTS ARE CHEAP AS HELLDON’T BE AFRAID TO TOSS IT ALL AWAY

Don’t be afraid totry to (gently) break GitHub.

8 months,couple hundred commits,dozens of mockups{

Pull Requests areabout getting shit donewithout wasting a lot of time.

Can your workflow be improved?Do you really need all that process?

Merlin Mann@hotdogsladieson email priorities :

A priority is observed, not manufactured or assigned.

Otherwise, it's necessarily not a priority.

“

Making something a BIG RED TOP TOP BIG HIGHEST #1 PRIORITY changes nothing but text styling.

If it were really important, it'd already be done. Period.

Resist adding meta-work. It gets in the way of doing real work. (The real work will get done anyway.)

shit, something is broken

hey, this could be cool

Do you need more than that?Think about it.

Most of the time, you don’t.
