Hi list !

I created a script to ease workflow on zena, a rails CMS  
([http://zenadmin.org](http://zenadmin.org)).

The workflow involves developers and reviewers (can be the same people):

1. each developer has his own fork (on github or another git server)
2. he creates a branch per feature
3. a reviewer looks at the code before …
4. … pushing changes to the “golden master”

All of this with automatic email sending:  
===[dev]===

> git co -b super\_feature  
> …  
> gold propose “finished implementation for super feature”  
> … [email]  
> ===[reviewer]===  
> gold review john/super\_feature  
> gold ok

> **[GitHub - zena/gold: Team work using git made easy.](https://github.com/zena/gold/tree/master)**
>
> master

Nice, thanks for contributing. Is this intended to be lighter weight  
substitution for a “real” Continuous Integration (CI) system? Don’t most  
teams that need this level of collaboration use CI systems?

Yes, it’s a very light CI. In fact it is simply a bunch of git calls  
used to ensure a consistent integration workflow (plus it’s less typing  
and thinking).
