Git Commits: Here's an approach that works best for us

Much like Git Workflows, the process to manage your git commits also has a bearing on your team's productivity. What works for one team in one company may not work just as well for other teams or companies. Here's an approach that works best for us.

Relations are "scoped" bookmarks that let you get to your content in the quickest way possible

We all know what favorites are. It lets us find what we are looking for quickly. But, they are often not context-sensitive. This is where our "Relations" feature makes a huge impact. You can create contextual references to your content. Look at them as "scoped" bookmarks.
