Every Team Makes These Four Decisions When Using Git

About this episode

The episode discusses the implicit decisions teams make when using Git and encourages deliberate choices.

Not telling you what's right — telling you what you're implicitly choosing, so you can choose deliberately. Check more stories related to programming at: https://hackernoon.com/c/programming .

Ask three developers on the same team to explain "how we use Git," and you'll get three different answers. Not because anyone is wrong — because the team never actually made the decisions explicitly. They made them by accident.
