Install git from here. Make sure you choose the scary sounding option about what to add to your PATH.
Clone this repository with git clone --recursive
Install git-flow and a shim for git-release with our installer:
> install.bat
Then install using npm:
> npm install -g gitflow-semver
$ git release # to create a new release
$ git release --init # to initialize the repo
The actual work of creating branches etc is carried out by Git Flow. Patch releases are implemented as Git Flow hotfixes.
Note: when fixing a bug and doing a patch release, you currently have to start the patch before you do the bug fix, because of how git-flow hotfixes work.
