A better version control system. I really like git a lot of the time, but a good deal of the time I get really frustrated with the complexity, and it was even more frustrating when I was learning it.
I want a version control system that I can pick up and use, one that is intuitive to use and doesn't get in the way of writing. It would be similar to word's track changes, but with branches.
I've been giving this some thought, but
I don't even know if it is technically possible, let alone feasible.
- debacle 14y agoHave you tried or thought about subversion? It's great for personal projects, simple to set up, and if you ever decide you need to you can turn it into a git repo pretty easily. I realize it's not new hotness, but it works for all of my personal projects until they get to github.
- codegeek 14y ago" get really frustrated with the complexity" I am a relatively new git user as well and think along the same lines at times. Do you mind sharing what specifically frustrates you about it ?
- temuze 14y agoI thought about this, too. Git would be useful for a lot of different industries - not just programming. Instead of rewriting git, why not give it a user friendly wrapper? Its performance is already incredible and you should be able to use that.
- pestaa 14y agoLots of developers, myself included, prefer Mercurial over Git for this exact reason.
