A quick git commands refresh | Christian Engvall

When using git i like to work with Vincent Driessen’s a successful git branching model. But since my projects varies i switch between git and another version control system, and sometimes need a quick refresh to get up to speed with git again. So this is the short version of the successful branching model.

$ git push origin develop
