Git Submodules: Core Concept, Workflows And Tips

Including submodules as part of your Git development allows you to include other projects in your codebase, keeping their history separate but synchronized with yours.

Story Branching and Continuous Integration: a swords-to-plowshares tale

I'll confess to being a little intimidated by the prospect of writing this blog.  See, I haven't been active as a coder for a couple years and haven't yet worked on a collaborative Git or Hg project.  (It's on my to-do list... just haven't swizzled it in yet.)  But lack of hands-on experience notwithstanding, I'm really excited about a growing trend amongst DVCS teams.  No, not Pokemon Exception Handling.  I'm talking about story branching.  And it's all the rage here at Atlassian.
