Easiest way to install git flow on Mac OS X

Download and install Homebrew:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/master/Library/Contributions/install_homebrew.rb)"

Then install git flow:

brew install git-flow

I highly suggest to everyone using git to install this and start using it immediately, as the current process is most likely killing your dev process. Here is also a good video that visually explains the process of git flow on Vimeo.
