I'm glad you find that blog post useful!

You are correct that the text of GitHub blog posts is copyrighted, so indeed you need to ask before using it.

It is OK with me (and more importantly with GitHub, because I wrote this text in their employ) for you to use the text about triangular workflows from the blog post mentioned above under the Git project's license.

I strongly suggest that you adapt it to make it fit better with the rest of the Git documentation, and because having verbatim copies of the same text in two places seems a little bit silly. But that's up to you.
