develop => used for developing new features (never ending)

hotfix => used for maintenance (get merged into master and develop once done)

release => used for creating new releases of code from the develop branch (merges back into master and develop)

to start an project clone the git repo and initialize the git flow

git clone git@cvs2:web/SooLocks.git www.soolocks.com
cd www.soolocks.com
git flow init

git release

git release start 1.0 (then do your work and commit)
git release finish 1.0

git hotfix

git hotfix start 1.0.1 (then do your work and commit)
git hotfix finish 1.0.1

When you're done with either a hotfix or release you need to push all branches and tags

git push --all
git push --tags

NOTICE: it is wise to do a git pull first before you start with a release or hotfix
