Description: flowhub
        =======
        
        Flowhub translates the workflow implemented by the excellent
        `git-flow <http://www.github.com/nvie/gitflow>`_ Git add-on to GitHub.
        
        Scott Chacon (of GitHub fame) points out that sometimes ``git-flow`` isn't the
        best workflow for an agile team. Flowhub is cool with that, too - setting the
        options one way gives you a translation of ``git-flow``, and setting them
        a slightly different way gives you a translation of
        `GitHub Flow <http://scottchacon.com/2011/08/31/github-flow.html>`_.
        
        You can also get a hybrid of the two, if that floats your boat.
        
        Flowhub has no meaning outside of a Git repository.
        
        After installing,
        you'll have access to the ``flowhub`` command:
        
        ::
        
            flowhub init
            # blah blah
            flowhub feature start <name-of-feature>
        
        
        See ``flowhub -h`` and its descendants for more information.
        
        
        What Can Flowhub Do?
        --------------------
        
        Flowhub keeps groups working in an orderly fashion, with minimal intrusion.
        
        For Developers
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        Let's examine a common use-case: you've forked another repository on GitHub
        (totally coincidentally, this happens to be the case that Flowhub was written
        for - though it doesn't require this set up).
        
        init
        ++++
        
        Suzy has forked a fellow developer's repository, and already has a clone of it
        on her development box. She wants to keep her contributions orderly, and
        (luckily!) the original repository adheres to a single-stable/single-dev branching
        philosophy already (Flowhub doesn't require this, but it makes things easier).
        
        Suzy decides to use Flowhub (she's got a bright future).
        
        ::
        
            cd /path/to/my/clone
            flowhub init
        
        After answering all of Flowhub's questions, Suzy is ready to start working (she
        decided to keep all of Flowhub's defaults).
        
        feature start
        +++++++++++++++
        
        She's already got some ideas about how to improve the project:
        
        ::
        
            flowhub feature start suzy-feature-the-first
            Password for 'https://suzyongithub@github.com':
        
            Summary of actions:
             - New branch feature/suzy-feature-the-first, from branch develop
             - Checked out branch feature/suzy-feature-the-first
        
        She's also come up with a solution to an existing issue:
        
        ::
        
            flowhub feature start -i 13 i-know-the-answer
            Password for 'https://suzyongithub@github.com':
        
            Summary of actions:
             - New branch feature/13-i-know-the-answer, from branch develop
             - Checked out branch feature/13-i-know-the-answer
        
        When she's ready to publish, that branch will be tied to issue #13 on ``canon``.
        
        feature publish
        +++++++++++++++
        
        After Suzy's been working for a while, she decides it's time to get some
        feedback from the original repository. Flowhub makes this a cakewalk.
        
        ::
        
            flowhub feature publish # Since Suzy is still on her feature branch, Flowhub assumes that's the one to publish
        
        Flowhub creates a pull-request for her, and reports the url so she can quickly
        navigate to it.
        
        When she's gotten some feedback and addressed it, she runs the same command.
        Flowhub updates the pull-request for her.
        
        feature abandon/accepted
        ++++++++++++++++++++++++
        
        When her pull-request has been accepted, Suzy can run
        
        ::
        
            flowhub feature accepted
        
            Summary of actions:
             - Latest objects fetched from canon
             - Updated develop
             - Deleted feature/accepted-feature from local repository
             - Deleted feature/accepted-feature from origin
             - Checked out branch develop
        
        from her feature branch, and Flowhub will clean things up a bit. She can also
        specify a feature name, if she's not currently on the accepted branch.
        
        If Suzy's feature is deemed a non-starter, and summarily rejected, Flowhub is
        there to comfort her:
        
        ::
        
            flowhub feature abandon
        
            Summary of actions:
             - Deleted feature/abandoned-feature from local repository
             - Deleted feature/accepted-feature from origin
             - Checked out branch develop
        
        Which will remove the feature branch she'd been working on.
        
        The difference between ``accepted`` and ``abandon`` is that ``accepted`` will
        complain if the feature branch hasn't been fully merged into your trunk branch;
        ``abandon`` doesn't care.
        
        feature list
        ++++++++++++
        
        At any time, Suzy can get a list of her current features' names (she's
        been so prolific that she's lost track of them all).
        
        ::
        
            flowhub feature list
              suzy-feature-the-first
            * suzy-currently-checkedout-feature
              # ...
              suzy-feature-the-millionth
        
        release/hotfix contribute
        +++++++++++++++++++++++++
        
        When it's time for a release, Flowhub has your back as well. Just branch off the
        tip of the release, and work. When you're satisfied, run the ``release
        contribute`` command *while that branch is checked out*:
        
        ::
        
            flowhub release contribute
        
        It's very similar to the ``feature publish`` command, but the target of the
        pull-request is the release branch, not the trunk.
        
        ``hotfix contribute`` does the same thing, but for hotfixes.
        
        Both ``contribute`` commands won't allow you to contribute branches that aren't
        descended from release/hotfix branch (as appropriate).
        
        For Managers
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        After a while, Suzy is given push access to the original repository (the
        maintainer cited her excellent branch organization as a key reason for the
        promotion).
        
        Now Suzy can make use of Flowhub's managerial commands.
        
        A milestone has been reached in her project, and it's time to get ready to
        release a new version (Suzy's repository is a good fit for ``git-flow`` - if
        Github-flow were a better match for her, she wouldn't need the managerial
        commands at all).
        
        ::
        
            flowhub release start 0.3 # or whatever you want to tag the release as
        
            Summary of actions:
             - New branch release/0.3 created, from branch develop
             - Pushed branch release/0.3 to canon
             - Checked out branch release/0.3
        
            Bump the release version now!
        
        this creates a new branch, off of develop, and sends it to github so that other
        developers can start dotting i's and crossing t's. Flowhub will only allow one
        release branch at a time.
        
        When the release is polished to Suzy's satisfaction, she publishes the release:
        
        ::
        
            flowhub release publish # Suzy is on the release she wants to publish; she could also name it here.
            Message for this tag (0.3): Lotta cool stuff here!
        
            Summary of actions:
             - Latest objects fetched from canon
             - Branch release/0.3 merged into master
             - New tag (0.3:"Lotta cool stuf here!") created at master's tip
             - Branch release/0.3 merged into develop
             - master, develop, and tags have been pushed to canon
             - Branch release/0.3 removed
             - Checked out branch develop
        
        
        A few days later, Suzy notices that a rare but seriously bad bug snuck
        through testing, and is affecting users. Suzy doesn't panic - she has Flowhub:
        
        ::
        
            flowhub hotfix start 0.3.1
        
            Summary of actions:
             - Latest objects fetched from canon
             - Updated master
             - New branch hotfix/0.3.1 created, from branch master
             - Pushed hotfix/0.3.1 to canon
             - Checked out branch hotfix/0.3.1
        
            Bump the release version now!
        
        Just like releases, Flowhub will only let you have one hotfix branch going at a
        time.
        
        When the bug's been killed, Suzy runs
        
        ::
        
            flowhub hotfix publish
            Message for this tag (0.3.1): Sorry, guys.
        
            Summary of actions:
             - Branch hotfix/0.3.1 merged into master
             - New tag (0.3.1:"Sorry, guys.") created at master's tip
             - Branch hotfix/0.3.1 merged into develop
             - master, develop and tags have been pushed to canon
             - Branch hotfix/0.3.1 removed
             - Checked out branch develop
        
        If Suzy had been running a release branch at the time, the hotfix would have
        been merged into that instead of her trunk; the bug would have been killed in
        trunk when the release was published.
