It’s impossible to discuss source control without people coming out of the woodwork to shit on git. It doesn’t work right. It’s too hard. SVN was better. Mercurial should have won. Blah blah blah.
Git isn’t perfect. And the command line has improved (I don’t care much, I use a GUI).
But the number of people who seem to insist that because it doesn’t work for them or they don’t personally like it it’s horrible and everyone should abandon it is crazy.
And it makes trying to read/participate in discussions like this painful.
- matwood 4y agoI agree. I think git is fine, but also would like improvements. I started with CVS and VSS (well really started with copying files to dir_bak heh), then SVN and git. Yelling across the office to tell someone to checkin a file so I could make an edit seems so quaint. VSS had a fun bug that if you ran out of disk space, it would destroy the entire repository - yup. Is git sometimes obtuse? Sure, but it's fast and incredibly powerful. My everyday commands are easy to use, and if I need something special I go to the documentation - just like any other SCM.
