GIT¶

I am extremely ambivalent about GIT. I feel like this XKCD cartoon gets it right:

Ideas¶

• Hashes instead of version numbers
• Everyone has everything (pretty much)
• git add every time a file changes in a useful way
• commit:
  • commit is local; does not affect others (yet)
  • commit meaningful changes, but don't wait for "finished" work
  • don't commit broken code
  • commit often
  • you don't have to commit everything. be selective
• pull, then push your commits to Github
• merging and merge conflicts (next Wednesday)
