OK, I think this is a good time to express my view regarding the Development tools lecture. It's purpose, as I see it, is to give the students a nice start with the right tools for developing code, as needed for their exercises. If their experience is good, they'll stay. If not, they'll soon

the problem with git, is that it's very easy to shoot yourself in the foot. giving it to students, who might accidentally reset their repository into losing their code, is not a very good idea, if you don't have time to give a proper explanation plus warnings. --guy Tzafrir Cohen wrote: On
