This is an nginx configuration that does the following: - Implements a RESTful API using CORS between `example.com` and `api.example.com` - Uses SSL - Reverse-proxies SSL traffic from port 443 to a NodeJS application running on port 8000 Adapted from this page, with thanks to the original author: http://enable-cors.org/server_nginx.html
# Configure the reverse-proxy on port 443

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.

Simple Git Workflow For Continuous Delivery

Simple Git Workflow For Continuous Delivery

Workflow guidelines:

  • master branch is always production-ready, deployable, 100% green test suite
  • New development is done on feature branches, with frequent rebasing onto master
  • Clean commit history by preferring to rebase instead of merge (git pull is configured to automatically rebase)
