$ tsql -S [IP or hostname] -U [username] -P [password]
locale is "en_US.UTF-8"

locale charset is "UTF-8"

a simple git branching model

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.
