Comments on: I don’t “git” it http://hcoder.org/2008/05/13/i-dont-git-it/ Just another WordPress weblog Thu, 01 Dec 2011 15:43:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Sverre Johansen http://hcoder.org/2008/05/13/i-dont-git-it/comment-page-1/#comment-175 Sverre Johansen Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 The only thing that makes sense in git is the lower level stuff - how everything is screwed and bolted together. It is based on a really simple, and to me clever, architecture. But the UI and the documentation really does kind of suck. But the big advantage lays in the community. Because it is made by this motley crew of rockstar programmers all the kids dig it, and blogs about all the stuff that the retarded documentation is unable to explain you. All your answers are one google away. The only thing that makes sense in git is the lower level stuff – how everything is screwed and bolted together.

Btw, can you please tell them to upload opera:talks to YouTube? =) If you’re used to SVN or CVS, then _anything_ is better. Btw, can you please tell them to upload opera:talks to YouTube? =)

Most Git users seem to defend it over, say, Mercurial, which looks pretty powerful, easily extensible with Python, and it's distributed too anyway. And I, that I don't get Git yet, wonder if it will really be better than Mercurial for "not huge" projects, because I feel that even if Git is more powerful, that power won't really make a difference in those projects, and Mercurial's better interface will have a much bigger impact, _everyday_ for almost _every_ member of the team. About the opera:talks, yeah, that's a good idea. I'll talk to someone and try to get that rolling... Yeah, I know. I meant more in the context of DVCS.
