Albeit an old video, a fun talk about the merits of git, I was never really bothered with git before this. Haven't looked back.

- hasenj 16y agoSame. If it wasn't for this, I'd probably never have used git, or any version control for that matter (given that I hated svn and all the others).
- shantanubala 16y agoThe funny thing about SVN is that I used to use it a lot for documents and text rather than code. Since there were no local commits, it also backed up my important documents with every commit, and also allowed me to work on documents everywhere. Since I had no need for branching, it worked fairly well. Now we have Dropbox for that.
- hasenj 16y agoFor documents I use Google Docs. It has the added benefits of easy publishing.
- andos 16y agoMy experience, too. I feel relieved that even Linus himself thinks it difficult to explain how important the distributed nature of Git is. I wave hands a lot when I'm presenting Git to friends.
