IFAICT, git is well-supported right now. Having our entire infrastructure written in Pharo is definitely still a great dream for me, but realistically, a Pharo-backed repo is so far down on the list of priorities for our limited manpower that I wouldn't waste a moment on it. I moved all my public projects to GitHub (and private ones to BitBucket for free) because I was horrified once it dawned on me that all my project loading and saving (including private projects) was unencrypted on all our standard repos. When I combine that with BitBucket/GitHub's built-in issue tracker, wiki, and collaborative features, it was a no brainer. Although I resisted the switch to git for quite a while, I haven't looked back. With FileTree, I rarely use any more git than `git add -A`, `git commit`, and `git push origin master`, and with GitFileTree, even that basic knowledge of git is unnecessary. Top it all off with git being considered sexy and cool right now, why not just start them off with GitFileTree and be done with it? ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/feedback-from-yet-another-student-presentation-tp4883876p4885732.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
