Re: [git-users] Recursively export files for n commits?
Fantastic! It works wonderfully. Thank you kindly, Mark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Git for human beings group.

Re: [git-users] Any writers out there?
You definitely do not want a commit every time you save your file. Just commit when you reach a milestone, etc. Also, have you looked into using a online document hosting service like GoogleDocs. I presume you need to use advanced editing features that are available part of Word or some other thick client tool. Best Regards.

I’ll apologize upfront for not crediting each of you for your individual contributions in my response—I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed. I just made a repository of 23 directories of poems, and yeah, it’s unwieldy. Thanks for the info on multi-repository tools that will come in handy. Too many commits do get out of hand quickly, I should save commits for those breakthrough moments in a project, not when I just change a comma—unless it’s an extremely important comma, in which case it better be commented. It just hit me, in my current workflow file names serve as comments I’m working on a file called /ladybug/ladybug new 3 past tense.markdown: that shows me the branch, version, and the major change: The third version of a new branch in which I move to the past tense. *Git compares lines:* I just diff’ed versions of a poem and wondered why it appeared I had deleted a block and replaced it with an identical block. I appreciate the git-show code, but I’m looking for a batch operation, but that’s best addressed in another post which I’ll make here in a few minutes. I’m moving toward a stripped down all text workflow using minimal text-editors, open/libre/neo-office is a bit…full-featured…for my sanity. I need to rethink my organization structure. My short-stories are arranged by series, but my poems are scattered about under whichever parent directory grabs my attention at the time—they’re in this order of priority, level of surrealism, emotional content right now and I find them by openmeta tags (which, yeah, can be convenient until you start using git). *Don’t have chaos:* I like that. I’m happy I decided to address my issues upfront instead of waiting until I went into production with it, these are some amazing insights you guys have, it saves me from walking blindly into a mine-field! I like the idea of a local master with local individual repos. It’s gonna take me a while to find a good balance to fit my needs. Wow, this has been the most fun I have ever had in a tech forum. You guys should form a comic troupe.

Re: [git-users] Any writers out there?
You definitely do not want a commit every time you save your file. Just commit when you reach a milestone, etc. Good deal. I'm still experimenting with that. Some of my projects a single line, or word, change is a major milestone. But it looks like I'll be manually committing to git and relying on TextWranglers autobackup on save feature for smaller changes. There seems to be a fine line there somewhere, and a huge gap between my vision and ability—but it's getting smaller Also, have you looked into using a online document hosting service like GoogleDocs. I presume you need to use advanced editing features that are available part of Word or some other thick client tool. Does GoogleDocs handle git repositories? Or are you suggesting an alternative to using git? No, I don't use or need word-processors. I have a raw text workflow. I mainly use TextWrangler and vim; writing in MultiMarkdown or other lightweight markup languages. For rendered text I run it through Mmd or Pandoc. I'm growing more accustomed to LaTex and hope to use it more in the future. Once I have my workflow down I'm going to install git on my webhosting service or seek out a semi-privite hosted repository. I would like to allow people to browse my changes or not to alter content.

Re: [git-users] Any writers out there?
make sure you have .gitignore to NOT TRACK you text wrangler backup files google docs does not support git AFAIK - not sure if git is the most appropriate tool for managing written word collection (could really depend on the User) but it is very accommodating ; the book I recommended used a peom as example text but I think this was an example selected for its simplicty perfect for introduction to using the tool. it might be absolutly perfect for what you need - S On 9 February 2011 03:37, Brett Viren brett.vi...@gmail.com wrote: On Mon, Feb 7, 2011 at 9:16 PM, Mark (my words) elib...@gmail.com wrote: Git compares lines: I just diff’ed versions of a poem and wondered why it appeared I had deleted a block and replaced it with an identical block.

Re: [git-users] Any writers out there?
No worries, my TW backups are in an entirely differnt directory structure from my writing—that would be a mess. Git may not be an appropriate tool, I guess that’s what I’m trying to discover. I go through an unholy number of drafts—it can be a hassle tracking down that one phrase that didn’t make an earlier cut but is now perfect for the current revision. There are fits and starts and regressions and spurts of inspiration followed by doubt. I need something to keep me from being burried under a mountain of drafts—while keeping them available, that gives me the courage to move forward, and affords me not to be in a constant state of panic of loosing that that perfect phrase. I’m currently working on three different branches of a single poem. I know something’s there, but the narritive mode is freaking me out—I may have stumble on a tense heretofore unknown in English :) Digging through the drafts and picking out the three I want to work on at any given time is a pain. So far git is proving valuable, but I won’t know until I complete a full project with it. Oh, that’s right. I bookmarked that book the other day and haven’t got back to it, I’m glad you reminded me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Git for human beings group.
