   Git Centric Workflow • Anything that’s text based goes in

   a git repo • Clone, fork, push and pull all the time • Git has become as essential as our text editors 9

    Another Detour • GitHub rode the Rails wagon • Rails

    came with Rake • Task runners went mainstream 10

    Front-end Build Tools • All modern front-enders use build tools
