Why do you emphasize Git in the HN link? It seems you use several key technologies for the demo - Backbone, Coffeescript, etc. Git is just a VCS, so why did you feel it necessary to emphasize it?
- gelnior 15y agoI emphasize it because Git changed a lot my workflow since I use it. Before that I was a SVN user and I commit only once I finished a feature (or sometimes several features...) and I almost never did any branching either. Perhaps that saying DVCS instead of Git would have been better.
- eliben 15y agoI don't have anything against Git, but it just appeared irrelevant to the listing of technologies you used for the actual coding. You could have branches with SVN too, by the way. And commit often. But you've switched to Git already, that's good. Stay there :)
- HalibetLector 15y agoI appreciated the explanation of how he uses git in a workflow. Everyone does things differently and DVCS is not just "another VCS". Treating git like you would treat svn is a recipe for heartache.
