to be honest git is my first true VCS (because I was used to working on my own and my VCS was Wuala sync that synced every changed document to the cloud + daily backups to another HDD). I have used the built in revision control system in Visual Studio but not extensively. When I started out with git I was looking for a GUI client because I assumed that it would be easier to use but now I much prefer the cli version of git and I assume this is true for most Linux (and possibly Mac users idk).
I would even go as far as to assume that this is true for most HN readers. Anyone care to comment?
Also git (even direct publishing to github) is built into PyCharm/RubyMine and there is also TortoiseGit for Windows (not sure about other OSs)
edit: I just realized this might be slightly OT but I still hope this wont be downvoted into oblivion as I'd love to hear some opinions
- wonderzombie 15y agoFor my part, I started using git at the command line because most of the Linux GUIs were pretty weak. They may have gotten better since I looked (1 yr?) but at this point I'm comfortable with the command line interface. Also, I jump between Linux at work and OS X at home, and the git workflow is the same on either if I am using the command line. The Mac GitHub app seems really nice, though.
