Branches and tags

[deohnas]

You should use branches and tags to get a better structure on the repository.

I would suggest that you adopt a semantic version approach. This approach are used by many popular frameworks and libraries.

MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
Take a look at http://semver.org/

Branches:

master - The most recent stable version
develop - The branch you are developing next release on

Tags:
x.x.x

Until you have a first release (1.0.0) I would simply use the develop branch and then push in to the master and call it the day. When you release 1.0.1, I would tag 1.0.0 and move 1.0.1 to master branch from develop.
