Things I really like about git are: - allows me to have multiple branches in one folder and i can switch between by typing in "git switch"; i would have to checkout multiple folders from svn - you don't have to maintain svn server, setting up ssh, user passwd and authz, etc, github does it for you - you can quickly show others what you did by showing them links on github (github even allows you to specify line numbers!) - github has a social aspect to coding, great for opensource - github makes collaboration much, much easier.
Things i don't like about git in comparison to svn (could be just me not being familiar with it): - there was a bit of a learning curve coming from svn/cvs. - once you committed locally, it's not easy to change your commit comments - i used tortoiseSVN and i really liked it; i couldn't find anything like that for git, i now use command line and liking it - I liked incremental svn revision number; git uses hash Overall, i like git :). Just my 2cents cheers, harris ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of Eric Dalquist [[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2011 10:22 AM To: Fluid Work Subject: Perspectives on Git A bit off topic but since Fluid made the change from Subversion to Git I'm wondering if folks here can share their views on the switch to git and their likes/dislikes. I'm going to be proposing that uPortal consider moving to github and want some real perspectives first.
