Thank you for the link, this is indeed one of the reference for git
branching model. Here a tutorial I found recently made by Atlassian.
It compares four different possible git branching models with one of
them being the one you linked (referred as gitflow workflow in the
post).

It also includes other information, mainly focused for people coming
from the SVN world:

And to migrate from SVN:

This is completely true. GitHub is "free" for public projects, just
not open sourced and GPL licensed.

This is completely personal, but I never understood complaints about
the point of the being "free" (as in open sourced). Maybe because I'm
too "young" to have lived this debate  :)
