7 Habits Of Effective Version Control

As an embedded development team leader, educating your team is the only way to bring them out of the old (and ineffective) ways of doing things.

Having proper discriptive commit messages in master while not having to worry about proper commit messages for things like small fixes.

Making the whole git history easier to view.

Making it possible to easily go to JIRA ticket and back based on commit title.

Making code reviews more efficient.
