Exploration in Source Control

The Change

When you think of an other idea from what you’re doing, create a branch at the point the idea diverges, and name both branches probably_wrong/.

The Value Proposition

Source control is so much more than just a tool for storing code and merging it between team members.

Examples include:

1. Exploring multiple ideas in parallel.
2. Eliminating ideas that turned out to be actually wrong.
3. Changing history by fixing mistakes in the past.
4. Resetting the time continuum to before you changed history.
