actually more precise is git clone proj-url connectivity with a git remote server can be either using SSH or HTTPS. Either work just fine, SSH usually has integration with your SSH key which saves the trouble of reentering creds each push or pull. If you are working with uncommitted changes but nonetheless need to synch with server’s latest changes, simply push your uncommitted changes, pull the latest, and then pop your latest changes back off the stack. IDE integration with GIT is quite good at making rudimentary operations like merging almost an afterthought for the developer. The IDE will also cache credentials saving the trouble of entering on every change if using HTTPS connectivity. Finally, there are plenty of good tools to use that provide the ability to look at the change history (which should be preserved after the migration from SVN). Your IDE can do this or I like gitk. OK, now I’m really done, and time to git back to work. :-) Shawn
