I think we need to document simple suggested modular boost workflows. Each workflow could start with the assumption that the steps described in https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/TryModBoost have been completed.
Workflows might include:
1) Switch to the "develop" branch, fix a minor problem, test, commit, switch back to "master". 2) Same as (1) but also push to remote. 3) Same as (2) but also merge develop to master. 4) Same as (3) but end by submitting a pull request to the boost super-project.
I don't mind writing the actual wiki pages, but am a little hobbled by being a TortoiseGit rather than command line git user, and by never having worked with sub-modules.
So what would recommended git commands look like for one or more of the above workflows?
IIUC we already agreed long ago to use gitflow: https://www.atlassian.com/git/workflows#!workflow-gitflow The tool for automating this workflow is: https://github.com/nvie/gitflow -- Dave Abrahams
