Looking at the history tree with all the branches and remote branches is a great way really understand Git. More powerful history browsers to "lola": * gitk (graphical, developed i…

For me Git has also worked very well for small projects. I actually learned it initially by using it for my masters thesis. One correction: Git does not store changes at all. It st…

Gerrit, a Git server with code review, lets users write custom submit-rules with Prolog: https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/prolog-... Shawn Pearce, the author of…

Extending code review to commit messages is a big help. If I can't understand from the commit message, what the change is trying to achieve, I won't even look at the code. Instead …

FlasForth is another fun Forth for AVR and PIC microcontrollers. You can even try it out over telnet... :-) http://flashforth.sourceforge.net/

I've worked in a couple of big projects (250+ developers) where we have introduced Gerrit Code Review [1] that has mandatory code reviews. In all cases, there has been a lot of ini…

One thing the article unfortunately fails to mention is the motivation for this model. A branching model, as any other policy or technical solution, should be an answer to an exist…

Very nice concept! I hope this catches fire like Airbnb! At least here in Finland "Restaurant Day" [1] has already become somewhat of an institution, so I bet there's potential for…

Why yes! I've used it (or Gerrit code review [1], to be precise) even in two-man projects! As important as QA is to keep others in the project aware of the latest changes. [1] http…

I like the practicalness of the advice. It might actually lead to some good in this world. It's times like this when people stop to think about other human beings and might actuall…

Arch's philosophy: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/The_Arch_Way I guess the most notable difference between Arch and Unbuntu is Arch's quest for simplicity as a system, where …

Even if this was meant as an critique to Git, I (some kind of a Git-evangelist) enjoyed it a lot. I even learned something new! The critique is quite well established. One needs to…

A warning about the ours and theirs commands: when you're rebasing, they will do the exact opposite what most people await them to do (thanks to git rebase's implementation). From …

KDiff3 has worked nice for me and it seems to be availabe for OS X too: http://kdiff3.sourceforge.net/ (however I have not tested it on an OS X)

Git Users Survey 2012 might give some indication: http://bit.ly/ZdRDxX Questions 10-15 are relevant and show a quite wide variety of different tools people use. GUI's seem to be po…

I have found branching in Git to be a pleasure to teach, even to large groups. There is nothing I have to hide about them, implementation or otherwise. "This is how it works and th…

I have found the Pro Git book to be the best: http://git-scm.com/book That, and constantly creating your own test repositories to test new commands/concepts. With a distributed VCS…

This is exactly what I tell students in my Git courses during the first hour. Git checkout is a command to read something from your .git-folder to your working directory. Especiall…

As explained above, this will help only against the first line of the attack (until the first newline character). The subsequent lines will be executed. A better solution would be …

I feel the problem is not the Internet becoming crappier, it's more that our "real" experiences are becoming crappier as instead of living them, (too) many are completely indulged …

I think vimtutor does a good job as a quick-start guide.

Very nice idea! This is strangely compelling and I almost forgot it to the background despite having radio on... :-) For those moody evenings and nights a nice choice is "You are l…
