              @thomasfuchs did they just take the original (https://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/) and run it through an image generator?

                      @thomasfuchs you know what this reminds me of? i collect random bootleg items and often times they use flavor text stolen from other things, and then retyped manually by people who don't speak english. so you end up with shit like this:

                          @thomasfuchs You're not wrong about this but, I mean, it's Microsoft.

                          Stuff that looks like this is their jam.

                            @thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io Bad OCR / image generation fail. It's clearly the git flow method. I think they were trying to morge this: https://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/

                                          @thomasfuchs true! So weird...

                                          It's funny to think that nvie is saying in his Note of Reflection that such a model should not be used anymore
