    well for probably the first time in my life

    i'm actually glad i have a stupid memory, cos remembering all the new GIT stuff will be something that i'll be good at (once i figure it all out)

    :D

    Source

    GIT is best thought of as a replacement to the crappy stuff like Mercurial, Bizaar, Subversion, however, it uses a fraction of the space & resources of other visioning system that currently exist

    yes it is hard to use & understand but compared to Subversion (b1tch of the SVN world) it is easier to use & understand (even though i don't understand it yet, i wanna fully understand it)

    BTW: it basically takes care of Source Code & stuff making sure everyone writing new source code is working on the latest version, & it also keeps all previous versions of the code (in case you :swear: it up, you can go back to the previous version)

    Edit: have a look here

    ah yes, i've been using it for some months now, better than svn for sure!

    would have made more sense in the web development forum :)

    glad you agree

    sorry, i just put it in general chat cos it was OT, but when queried i felt compelled to explain

    Edit: move it if you want

    Edit: what advise could you give to someone in my position / someone starting with GIT ?

    If you familiar with svn, try SVNHub it has a great guide.

    Try github.com for repo hosting (have to pay for private repos unless you want to setup your own git server)

    [ot]well GIT is very compex, and it is better than subversion perhaps the GIT user manual may help you

    BTW: hold tight to something as you learn, trust me!. It is actually a version control system (ensuring the (usually) latest source code is being written)[/ot]

    Edit: :beer: good luck
