Git Branching Diagram Template

Git Branching Diagram Template for diagrams.net

This is my own variant of a git branching diagram template based on Bryan Braun's great template.

You can use this diagram as a template to create your own git branching diagrams. Here's how:

  1. Create a new diagram with diagrams.net (formerly draw.io)
  2. Go to File > Open From > URL
  3. Insert this url (it points to the xml data below): https://gist.githubusercontent.com/dornfeder/13abff279de357f048e474d4ed6c692d/raw/f5efc838bd34429e59e38063bd348b7a86457d18/git-diagram-template.xml
  4. Customize as needed for your team.

Code School Screencasting Framework

Screencasting Framework

The following document is a written account of the Code School screencasting framework. It should be used as a reference of the accompanying screencast on the topic.

Why you should care about screencasting?

You're probably aren't going to take the time to read this document if you're not interested, but there are a lot of nice side effects caused by learning how to create quality screencasts.

  1. Communicating more effectively - At Envy Labs we produce screencasts for our clients all the time. Whether it's demoing a new feature or for a presentation for an invester, they're often much more effective and pleasent than a phone call or screen sharing.
