Ok...I have quite understand what Git is an how it will help me. The question is, since Netbeans has a history feature about each file in a project which helps undo changes, what more Git has to offer than this and in general any VCS out here. My question might seem naive but I am gust trying to fully understand the concept of Version control system. 2012/12/21 Joe Cabezas > I feel really sorry about this off-topic ,but I loved this message ,thank > you Charles Manning. > > > > JoeCabezas: "When my kids started programming, the 1st thing I did with > them was get them to sign up to #github and get into the habit of using > git" <3 > > Original Tweet: http://twitter.com/JoeCabezas/status/282092609411878913 > > Sent via TweetDeck (www.tweetdeck.com) > > -- > > > --

Here's a starter's guide: http://rogerdudler.github.com/git-guide/ > I absolutely agree with this. git is great for solo developers, particularly if you hook up to github or equivalent. That way losing a disk or having equipment stolen is not so dramatic. Even just having the ability to compare between revisions and manage different branches of development makes git very powerful. When my teenage kids started programming, the first thing I did with them was get them to sign up to github and get into the habit of using git. Nothing in programming is more tragic than having something work, then make a few "benign" changes which screws everything up. git helps with that -- CHarles --
