Yes. Git is TONS easier to set up remotely than subversion. There are tutorials online, so I won't go into it, but suffice to say that it's even dead simple to start with a local repository, and then move to a remote one down the road.
(For the non-gitters in the crowd, yeah, I know none of this is unique to git. Mercurial has a lot of the same benefits and strengths. Git is what I know, though.) - Jamis On 1/28/09 7:43 PM, Greg Hauptmann wrote: > thanks - Can I ask if it easy enough to set up my own central GitHub > server?
