My Common Git Workflow. May 13th, 2010 A recent post that was highly ranked on Hacker News complained about common git workflows causing him serious pain. While I won’t get into the merit of his user experience complaints, I do want to talk about his specific use-case and how I personally work with it in git. Best I can tell, Mike Taylor (the guy in the post) either tried to figure out a standard git workflow on his own, or he followed poor instructions that tried to bootstrap someone from an svn background while intentionally leaving out important information.
In any event, I’ll step through my personal workflow for his scenario, contrasting with subversion as I go. Cloning the Repository The very first step when working with a repository is to clone it.

Flash is proprietary.H.264 video is better than Flash video.There are lots of games on iPhone, so you won't miss the Flash ones.Flash is insecure.Flash makes Macs crash.Flash is slow and reduces battery life.Flash doesn't work well with touchscreen technology.As an independent development layer, Flash reduces Apple's ability to innovate. I'm not going to evaluate each of those claims; others have done a good job of that already. What are the lesser known but cool data structures ? - Stack Ove.
