You would think, but experience has taught me that on a team with other programmers, a standardized workflow is a really good idea, approaching absolutely necessary. Some people need help remembering how to do each step in a workflow, and well-written scripts can help avoid mistakes for everyone. And it's much better to use community-tested tools like this than write your own, unless you really are a master at git and have a special requirement that couldn't be met just by configuring your repo and/or adding hooks and using a well-tested tool like this one.

It also helps if you realize that Git Flow is a standard workflow for Git, and these scripts implement it for you.
