<h2>About</h2>
<p>
git-flow are a set of git extensions to provide high-level repository operations for Vincent
Driessen's branching model.

<p>This cheatsheet shows the basic usage and effect of git-flow operations</p>
<p class="divider">&#9733; &#9733; &#9733;</p>
</div>
<div class="scrollblock">
<h2>Basic tips</h2>
<ul>
<li>Git flow provides excellent command line help and output. Read it carefully to see what's happening...</li>
<li>The OSX Client <a href="http://www.sourcetreeapp.com/">Sourcetree</a> is an excellent git gui and provides
git-flow support
</li>
<li>- Git-flow is a merge based solution. It doesn't rebase feature branches.</li>
</ul>

<h2><a name="setup" href="#setup">Setup</a></h2>
<ul>
<li>You need a working git installation as prerequisite.</li>
<li>Git flow works on OSX, Linux and Windows</li>
</ul>
<p class="divider">&#9733; &#9733; &#9733;</p>
<div class="col-1">
<h3>OSX</h3>
<blockquote>
$ brew install git-flow
</blockquote>
<h3>Linux</h3>
<blockquote>
$ apt-get install git-flow

<h3>Windows (Cygwin)</h3>
<blockquote>
$ wget -q -O - --no-check-certificate
https://github.com/nvie/gitflow/raw/develop/contrib/gitflow-installer.sh | bash

<h2><a name="getting_started" href="#getting_started">Getting started</a></h2>
<p>Git flow needs to be initialized in order to customize your project setup.</p>
<p class="divider">&#9733; &#9733; &#9733;</p>
<div class="col-1">
<h3>Initialize</h3>
<p>Start using git-flow by initializing it inside an existing git repository:</p>
<blockquote>
git flow init
</blockquote>
<p>
You'll have to answer a few questions regarding the naming conventions for your branches.<br/>
It's recommended to use the default values.

<h2><a name="features" href="#features">Features</a></h2>
<ul class="narrow">
<li>Develop new features for upcoming releases</li>
<li>Typically exist in developers repos only</li>
</ul>
<p class="divider">&#9733; &#9733; &#9733;</p>
<div class="col-1">
<h3>Start a new feature</h3>
<p>Development of new features starting from the 'develop' branch.</p>
<p>Start developing a new feature with</p>
<blockquote>
git flow feature start MYFEATURE
</blockquote>
<p>This action creates a new feature branch based on 'develop' and switches to it</p>
<!--
- Bump the version number now!
- Start committing last-minute fixes in preparing your release
- When done, run:
git flow release finish 'testrelease'
-->

<h3>Finish up a feature</h3>
<p>
Finish the development of a feature.
This action performs the following
</p>
<ul>
<li>Merged MYFEATURE into 'develop'</li>
<li>Removes the feature branch</li>
<li>Switches back to 'develop' branch</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
git flow feature finish MYFEATURE

<h3>Publish a feature</h3>
<p>
Are you developing a feature in collaboration? <br/>
Publish a feature to the remote server so it can be used by other users.
</p>
<blockquote>
git flow feature publish MYFEATURE

Get a feature published by another user and track remote changes.

<p class="divider">&#9733; &#9733; &#9733;</p>
<div class="col-1">
<h3>Start a release</h3>
<p>To start a release, use the git flow release command. It</p>
creates a release branch created from the 'develop' branch.
</p>
<blockquote>
git flow release start RELEASE [BASE]
</blockquote>
<p>You can optionally supply a <code>[BASE]</code> commit sha-1 hash to start the release from. The commit must
be on the
'develop' branch.</p>
<p class="divider">&#9733; &#9733; &#9733;</p>
<p>It's wise to publish the release branch after creating it to allow release commits by other developers. Do it similar to feature publishing with the command:</p>
<blockquote>
git flow release publish RELEASE
</blockquote>
<p>(You can track a remote release with the <br/><code>git flow release track RELEASE</code> command)</p>

<h3>Finish up a release</h3>
<p>Finishing a release is one of the big steps in git branching. It performs several actions:</p>
<ul>
<li>Merges the release branch back into 'master'</li>
<li>Tags the release with it's name</li>
<li>Back-merges the release into 'develop'</li>
<li>Removes the release branch</li>

git flow release finish RELEASE

<h2><a name="hotfixes" href="#hotfixes">Hotfixes</a></h2>
<ul>
<li>Hotfixes arise from the necessity to act immediately upon an undesired state of a live production version
</li>
<li>May be branched off from the corresponding tag on the master branch that marks the production version.</li>
</ul>
<p class="divider">&#9733; &#9733; &#9733;</p>
<div class="col-1">
<h3>git flow hotfix start</h3>
<p>Like the other git flow commands, a hotfix is started with</p>
<blockquote>
git flow hotfix start VERSION [BASENAME]
</blockquote>
<p>The version argument hereby marks the new hotfix release name. Optionally you can specify a basename to start from.</p>

<div class="col-2">
<div class="hotfix-start"></div>

<div class="scrollblock">

<h3>Finish a hotfix</h3>
<p>By finishing a hotfix it gets merged back into develop and master. Additionally the master merge ist tagged with the hotfix version.</p>
<blockquote>
git flow hotfix finish VERSION

<h2>Backlog</h2>
<p class="divider">&#9733; &#9733; &#9733;</p>
<ul>
<li>Not all available commands are covered here, only the most important ones</li>
<li>You can still use git and all its commands normally as you know them, git flow is only a tooling
collection
</li>
<li>The 'support' feature is still beta, using it is not advised</li>
<li>If you'd like to supply translations I'd be happy to integrate them</li>
