github Adventures
I've switched one of my projects from Subversion to Git (using github) and so far I love the way it works. I like the fact that my local repository isn't just a working copy, it's a fully functioning repository - I can look at the history, make commits whilst offline, etc. I often end up doing a couple of hours coding offline and it's great to be able to commit those changes as I do them rather than waiting until I'm next online and committing them all at once with a general, vague commit message.
It's early days and I'm still feeling my way. Some resources that helped me:
- Guides: Deploying with Capistrano
- Pragmatic Version Control Using Git ($22 downloadable PDF)
