+## Bleed-first development
+
+NOTE: this is extremely bleeding edge with many different branches that are probably
+stale. This is because I'm breaking all the time and wanted my `master` branch
+to be simply "minimally" available, regardless of what features I implemented later
+on.
+
+Currently, `master` is probably not as stable as we all want it to be.
+
+`bleed` was created as I moved onto using [`gh:divnix/std`](https://github.com/divnix/std)
+which introduced more explorations to make it backward compatible
+
+`lean` was created in the process of merging `bleed` back onto `master`. Couple 
+of my infra on Linode are spun down due to Akamai's increased cost, so I try 
+to keep everything lean, while having an available branch (`bleed`) to look 
+back to if I need to do anything fancy. `lean` here means it's minimal to the
+best of its ability by having only functional code.

+## Archive a branch
+
+Very common to see branches getting stale. We either want to have them become
+PR or just have them stale and not deleted (for maximal data collection if 
+needed)
+
+Hence, here's the aspect of archiving a branch, that also reflects remote branch
+
+```bash
+# archive. Feel free to just rename the BRANCH_NAME here
+BRANCH_NAME="boost"
+git tag "archive/$BRANCH_NAME" $BRANCH_NAME
+git branch -D $BRANCH_NAME
+# Now delete at origin
+git branch -d -r "origin/$BRANCH_NAME"
+git push --tags
+git push origin :$BRANCH_NAME
+
+# restore
+BRANCH_NAME="hello_world"
+git fetch origin
+git checkout -b "$BRANCH_NAME" "archive/$BRANCH_NAME"
+```
