a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.

I'm trying to use the Joomla core as much as possible. Now to say that I'm using ONLY core would be untrue, since technically I'm creating and installing some plugins to accomplish this, but they certainly aren't 'heavy duty' components like K2, seblod, or some of the other Joomla CCKs out there. 

Site I just built using this concept

## write some plugins
https://github.com/drmmr763/sofi/tree/master/plugins/content/sofimap

This sofimap plugin loads an XML file into the backend of ```com content``` that lets me store extra field data in my own table. So the process here is to use all the plugin events for ```com content``` to load the form, load form data, save form data, delete form data, and even display saved data in the front end.

Joomla! overridable media cheatsheet

This document includes fast examples to use @mbabker's method to use the media folder to allow stylesheets and javascript overrides:

I have also added the method to use overridable images in the media folder.
