I've generally been using Feature Branch Workflow. One of the main points of personal projects for me is getting used to technologies I don't otherwise use every day, or using them in a way I'm not used to, & Git is part of that, so sometimes I'll use multiple feature branches simultaneously & rebase, & create pull requests instead of merging directly, playing around with different workflows. At the same time, I find my regular development best practices apply, like committing at least daily; I treat my computer like it could die at any moment, save & back up frequently (pushing to GitHub to back up some code), & it only takes losing a bunch of work once to give you a lot of motivation to prevent it from ever happening again!
