+gut
+===
+
+gut is a particular workflow for github.  It works like this:
+
+ 0. It assumes you've already cloned the master repo
+
+ 1. Use `gut feature <name>` to create the feature branch you care
+ about.  For systems with bug numbers, it is recommended to create a
+ branch with the bug number name (e.g. `gut feature bug-123456`)
+
+ 2. Do your development.  Use git like you normally would during a
+ normal development cycle for commiting, etc.
+
+ 3. When it comes time to make a patch, run `gut patch`.  This will
+ generate a .diff file based on your feature branch name and output a
+ combined log for the branch to the console.
+
+ 4. Apply the patch to the master and push it.
