Git Workflow

Topic branches

You can choose to create a topic branch for the issue/set of issues your commits pertain to if you like.

Ignoring files

Please add operating system specific hidden files, editor specific swap files, and other things you need to ignore to your global git ignore. See ignoring files for details.

setup global gitignore

cd ~/ && wget https://gist.github.com/phillipalexander/6257899/raw/c91b435be351fcdff00f6f97f20824d0286b99ef/.gitignore_global

setup global gitconfig to use that file

git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore_global

Closing issues with commits

Your commit message should reference the corresponding issue with closes #11 or fixes #12 so the corresponding issue will be closed and the issue will contain a link to the commit. More information on closing issues with pull requests.
