Hello, I'm new to git. I'm trying to develop a workflow for my creative writing. I figure that other's must have came before me, so why reinvent the wheel?
*Here are some issues I'm dealing with* *Stay out of the way/how often to commit.* I can use launchd on OS X to call a script to make commits periodically and/or when a file changes. Is making a commit every time a file is saved too much? (I tend to save a bunch.) *Should I have multiple git repositories or a single monolithic one?* I usually have several projects in the works, each individual piece (poem, story) has it's own directory which I use to keep working drafts. I'd hate to have to remember to run git init, git add . , and setup a laucnhd script, every time I start a new poem, but I would also hate to be overwhelmed by navigating a huge repository. *Is it possible to save out multiple versions of a single file? (easily?)* I often need to open three, four, or more versions of a file. And I occasionally need to print several old versions. Can git do this? I know I can use diff to compare two versions, and I can open a particular version, is it possible to open/save the last n versions of a file? *Is git for me?* Am I running into a fundamental incompatibility problem? Do I just need to learn more about git? What are some good resources to look at—I'm overwhelmed by the sheer number of git articles online.
