Several years ago, I contributed [1] to the gitworkflows(7) documentation, because I thought the process by which git.git does branching was really interesting.
Since then, I have found it odd that gitworkflows has mostly remained under the radar. Other, in my opinion, lesser flows, have become very popular, like GitFlow [2]. I have written an article explaining the "why" of gitworkflow in contrast to GitFlow and others: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cGNujRNVzeLV2SXkVlKwai6qJmlVT3LwlOsVYNr0FZo/edit?usp=sharing This article is not published yet -- its still a DRAFT and only visible via the above URL. I'd love to have input on the draft from the experts in this community. Feel free to suggest changes and add comments in the article via Google Docs. Also, some explanatory illustrations to accompany the article would be excellent, if anyone feels like contributing. Visuals are not my strong suit. I'd love to include something similar to the graphic [3] that was a big part of making GitFlow so popular. The article can be partially rewritten to match illustrations, if any are contributed.
