coding process

[Wes James]

I am working with git and I'm wondering if coding like the following
is a good way to manage code:

create code then commit
when a good set up code is ready push to master
create a branch
create code then commit
when code is good, merge and push to master
go back to create branch

Anyone else have a procedure they go through when managing code?

thx,

-wes

are always a good way to manage code. You might want to consider using
release branches (like how git.git has "master", "next", and "maint").

I'm not sure what you mean by "push to master". You don't push to a
branch. You push to a repository. I guess you mean pushing to the
"official" or "blessed" repository?

Also, sending patches to an email before merging to master is a
good idea to get code review.

I meant when I do "git push origin master" - yes push to repo

Ok.

Thx for the input.
