When I go rock climbing, I don’t use ropes. It saves me time of having to set anchors. The git advice works for either experts or small projects. If you’re an expert, choose your own workflow. I find in large projects with many users, branches help to recover quickly from mistakes and help define testing history. My primary concern is for novices to go at it without branches because they’re hard to deeply understand without experience and they see experts managing without. Learn how to use rock climbing equipment before you rely on it. Experts, do whatever works best for you!
