Only one rule: anything in the master branch is always deployable

Pro tip: Use descriptive branches, so that others know what you are working on!

Pull Requests initiate discussion about your commits

Ask for feedback by using GitHub's @mention system in your Pull Request message

Pro tip: By incorporating certain keywords into the text of your Pull Request, related issues are closed
