Sage Gerard wrote this interesting article about using git flow with creative writing. Randy Ingermanson’s Snowflake Method makes you start from a crude, yet complete one sentence story and iterate until you are left with a good story.
Snowflow branches behave analogously to their git-flow counterparts, with some added expectations.
- The master branch holds a project that compiles to PDF and tells a complete story
- An elaborate (develop) branch adds detail to the story
- A concept (feature) branch introduces at least one unique, self-contained concept
- A review (release) branch holds a complete story for review. If the story is of sufficient editorial quality it may merge to master.
- A reconcile (hotfix) branch fixes pressing logical errors such as plot holes.
- A seed (support) branch addresses circumstantial concerns such as differences in story arcs or fictional universes.
Whole article is detailed and interesting read.
