Do you have a proper style to use source control?

I got too many issues when I use git.

After learning phabricator/facebook/gitflow's style source control. I have to admit beyond source control that whole team should also grasp a proper way to use source control.

Do you have a search-able issue tracker?

Beyond bug database, we get issue tracker, github-issue/trello is one way to manage it.

When dev-s just start programming, they need to know the various parts of the project. Beside version control's commits, the team also need issue tracker, teammates have a proper way to control and manage the information like how decisions make, who manage it, why write it and connect to which level of bug and features. Everything should bundle together.
