Git basics - a general workflow
There are many Git workflows out there, I heavily suggest also reading the atlassian.com [Git Workflow][article] article as there is more detail then presented here.
The two prevailing workflows are [Gitflow][gitflow] and [feature branches][feature]. IMHO, being more of a subscriber to continuous integration, I feel that the feature branch workflow is better suited.
When using Bash in the command line, it leaves a bit to be desired when it comes to awareness of state. I would suggest following these instructions on [setting up GIT Bash autocompletion][git-auto].
When working with a centralized workflow the concepts are simple, master represented the official history and is always deployable. With each now scope of work, aka feature, the developer is to create a new branch. For clarity, make sure to use descriptive names like transaction-fail-message or github-oauth for your branches.
