It has been a huge transformation for me over the years; moving from the GUI of VFP's IDE and Visual Studio, through a couple of IDEs like Eclipse, Komodo and NetBeans, and now, a set of console windows for editing (vim), source code control (git on bash), server admin (console comands, again) and a browser for checking the result (FireFox/FireBug and Chromium, mostly, IE for testing incompatibilities). With practice, I feel like I've regained the speed and ease-of-use I had with the VFP IDE (and it's command window!) on Linux, finally. > The Tortoise Git and SVN tools for Windows are IIRC basically > wrappers for Windows conversions of the normal Git and Subversion > command line clients, so you can use those as well. There's no direct Win32 (or Win64) native port that I can find. Msysgit is a port of the git* command lines as well as gitk and git-gui, with a POSIX runtime environment. Git on CygWin was my preference, as I was already using ssh, rsync and vim, but was probably asking too much of the Windows-only folks on the project. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
