Comments on: Git Mah Code From Th’ Repository, Ma! http://www.littlehart.net/atthekeyboard/2007/11/13/git-mah-code-from-th-repository-ma/ Facebook should've be written in unicornSchemaLang, because everyone *knows* that PHP is no good for anything, right?

Once I took some time to learn the basic commands and the basic workflow (git-status, git-commit, git-push to get my changes back to the main repository) I've been using it just fine for my personal projects. As for building git, I installed it on my MacBook using MacPorts. Nice and easy. @Brent

I'm also wondering whether you found a dmg distro, or did you build from source? Cheers. Hey Chris… wondering how your experience with git has been up to this point now that some time has passed.

I use it for about 5 moths and i'm completely in love. Good to see another baker using it :) For people that are new to distributed VCS I've stumbled across a good article : http://betterexplained.com/articles/intro-to-distributed-version-control-illustrated/ @Walker bookmarked - now I'll have an url to point people looking for git project hosting.

I enjoy using both. And find that finer grained commits get pushed by the developers on our team because of it.

It's built on top of the svnfs storage system and will sync with SVN, CVS, etc. With it, I can create a local copy with as much of the repo history as I want, create a local branch, and do whatever I want while tracking those changes without touching the original. When they're ready, then I can merge them back with the original, if I have commit access to that repo. That is the biggest difference between it and Git is to push changes back to the repo, I have to have commit access to it. Personally, I've yet to run into SVN branches being a pain and I consider myself a pretty prolific brancher. My branches don't generally live very long, but if I have a feeling I'm going to break something while I'm trying an idea out, I throw everything in a branch, then merge it back or delete it when I'm done.

I had decided to learn it a few months back but got sidetracked. I'm determined to have (at least what I consider) a deep understanding before I and my team-members start using it heavily. I can't accept only knowing commit/push/pull/clean/rebase -- I'll get to where I'd like to be soon though. These four links will probably prove useful for others embarking on the svn-to-git path: http://git.or.cz/course/svn.html http://www.flavio.castelli.name/howto_use_git_with_svn http://utsl.gen.nz/talks/git-svn/intro.html http://wincent.com/knowledge-base/Migrating_Subversion_repositories_to_Git Cheers!
