The old way: cp -adr program-v3-withnewfeatureX program-v4
Then work on program-v4 with test deploy until you are happy. Then when ready, change your production deploy scripts to use program-v4, and the "emergency-revert" scripts to use program-v3
Editing 2 scripts is not more complicated that running git commands.
That said, I like git. git is nice. But unless you are writing the new linux kernel with tens or hundreds of people you may not need it.
I try to remove everything I do not absolutely need and use the simplest hardware I can get away with. Complexity for complexity sake is not productivity.
- tom_ 8y agoI've always been disappointed by people that say they work without source control - because it always turns out they do something like this. Always. And this differs from source control in no meaningful fashion. Once again, my hopes of finding out some interesting new way of working, that I couldn't even imagine: dashed!
- 1996 8y agoThe ways are not so different. The tools are, a bit. As you wisely said, this differs from source control in no meaningful fashion.
