This post is designed to help you form a solid mental model while working with Git both professionally and in an open source project, and how to ensure you are following best practices to make the process easier for everyone.

This topic was inspired by some of my pairing sessions with my colleague Tobias Bieniek and the concepts laid out in this post have become invaluable to me while working with open source development. If you haven't already checked out Tobias' blog on Open Source maintenance I would highly recommend checking it out after reading this post 🎉
