git is a distributed version control system so having a central repository is fine for later, completed versions but it might be worth considering having a local repo for each developer so that they can save and version control internally and then when they are happy with their current work snippet push that back to a common/shared repo. That way you get some independence otherwise you are not doing much more than what svn does. Also you might consider looking at mercurial rather than git as it has a better fit with Windows machines. For example here we use Mercurial and every developer has a local set of repos on their workstation which they work with and when they have finished code synchronise from that back to a central repo where they can share their work with others. We actually have several central repos for test/stage levels of goodness of code rather than branching, the two are almost synonymous in distributed version control systems and synchronising between repos is simplicity itself (in Mercurial at least). If you want to get really fancy and you have developers on the move or with more than one workstation, desktop and notebook for example, then you can have another repo on a central server for that developer to sync up to from one workstation so that they can then pull that update down onto their other workstation. They can then keep code current on two machines without having half-good code in the main repos for other people to trip over. -- Yours, Kym Kovan mbcomms.net.au ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:336660 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
