Possible Duplicates:
Are there advantages to using a DVCS for a solo developer?
As a sole developer (for now), how should I be using Git?
I'm a solo developer, and I've been quite comfortable with SVN for a number of years.
My workflow has been the following
- create a project on dev workstation and make changes
- commit to subversion
- pull project to dev notebook and make changes
- commit changes
- wash, rinse, repeat (no branches)
Now I've recently pushed my first open project to GitHub, and I really like how it all works.
I'm wondering however, what is the best approach to using a DVCS as a solo eveloper. Should one follow the same workflow as SVN and work exclusively on the master, or is it a good idea as a solo developer to fork the project for my two (or possibly more) dev machines?
Any advice on how to approach a GitHub workflow as a solo developer would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT
One thing I've come up with as I continue to wrap my head around this problem is the fact that the "master" repo should only be for fully functioning code.
Therefore I should create a single "working" branch and push it back and forth between my two dev computers. When I feel that I've got the next iteration of fully functioning code, I proceed to push it to the master, but never work directly with the master code.
Thoughts?
