Git branch model
- develop
- feature
- release
- master
Some basic rules for successful development using branches:
- master only gets updated from release
- develop is the main working branch
- develop is the source for new releases and features
- features can only go back into develop

1. create a new development branch from master
git branch develop git push --set-upstream origin develop
2. develop code
When developing code for a website, it may be wise to clone 'develop' into a new folder so as not to mess with the live/production 'master' environment
git checkout develop
2.1 commit code
git add . git commit -m <commit message>
2.2 upload commit to server
git push
