Git, Swiz :: what a new experience
The last 2-3 months have been full of new development for me, thus no blog posts in about 2 months (I’ve also been around a lot of new construction at my house). On the new construction tip, Swiz needs more exposure. I have spent the last two months putting together projects for this “micro framework” and something else that really has been in the works for me since 2006(more on that later, blog post).
So how does GIT fall into this category? Well as most of you know, more and more projects are switching to github.com rather than google.com for their source code control. The past 6 months I remained naive since I was putting together component products. Now that I have been working open source projects again I decided to see what GIT was about. Being a hardcore SVN user since 2004, this was no easy task. It’s not the learning, it’s the re-learning of style. GIT has a different way of thinking.
Bottom line, if you havn’t looked at git source code control, you should. Just for the fact you can commit changes locally to your hearts content and then push those changes to a server whenever you want is huge. Branching is so much easier since it takes place locally as well.
All of these benefits together add up to a leaner and meaner way to sling the source code.
