Pull Requests would be made to the dev branch, instead of the master branch, which would reserve the master branch for 'gold' builds and allow for collaboration to occur outside of the production code stream. While the necessity may not exist, today, this model would also support further breaking out the 'plugins' into their own 'feature' branches, off of the dev branch, and merging feature branch changes back into the dev code stream, all without affecting production. \n\n(A much better, more detailed description can be found at http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/)\n\n![Git Flow Model](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/9bde6fb64a9542a572e0e2017cbb58d9d2c440ac/687474703a2f2f6e7669652e636f6d2f696d672f6769742d6d6f64656c4032782e706e67)"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/alanrenouf/vCheck-vSphere/issues/comments/96895761","html_url":"https://github.com/alanrenouf/vCheck-vSphere/issues/371#issuecomment-96895761","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/alanrenouf/vCheck-vSphere/issues/371","id":96895761,"user":{"login":"vScripter","id":3757585,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3757585?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/vScripter","html_url":"https://github.com/vScripter","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/vScripter/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/vScripter/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/vScripter/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/vScripter/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/vScripter/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/vScripter/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/vScripter/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/vScripter/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/vScripter/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-04-28T03:26:14Z","updated_at":"2015-04-28T03:26:14Z","body":"Features are just bugs with a suit and tie on, aren't they? ;)\n\nGlad to finally have the time to start contributing. I certainly don't consider myself a git/GitHub pro, but I've been using it, almost daily, for the past 2 years (give or take). I've been looking for a good project to really start digging my heels into and this one has been on my list for quite some time.\n\nSomewhat unrelated to this issue request, but has there been any consideration about getting a [Gitter chat]( https://gitter.im) going for the repo? It 100% free and serves as a good place for relevant conversation about code changes, questions, etc. (for example, I have some general questions that might generate good conversation, which would probably be a good candidate for gitter, as opposed to a pull request or opening an issue (don't really like junking up those workflows) ). Anywho, take a look and see what you think; great, free, tool with a nice compliment of native apps, as well. \n\nThanks again!"}}
