If I want to move to GIT, then I should use all the advantages of GIT, I couldn't find single GIT client/plugin that directly supports all the advanced features in GIT including Egit, intellij and others.
- mataug 13y agoI doubt if any tool can ever support all the advanced features of GIT like its plumbing commands. Even a feature like rebase is which is fairly understandable on the CLI, becomes difficult to use on a GUI
- andyhmltn 13y agoI would assume that being able to work offline and not depend on a central repo is enough of a benefit anyhow
- mataug 13y agoI don't this is really a killer feature in this age of always connected devices.
- andyhmltn 13y agoIf you've ever tried to get a decent connection on a train through England on a particular network, you'd disagree :)
- mataug 13y agoThat is a special and unique circumstance. One can definitely manage time so to not work while travelling.
- icebraining 13y agoYeap, adjusting my life to my VCS tool is perfectly reasonable ;)
- mataug 13y agoIf you put it that way, obviously no,but if you think about it as adjusting how you work with the availability of an internet connection, It seems more reasonable :-P
- icebraining 13y agoBut the point is that, with git, I don't have to do that! :D (though we actually use Bazaar where I work, but it's distributed all the same)
- andyhmltn 13y ago(Replying again because apparently I can't reply to your new comment) - It's not a 'special circumstance' in anyway shape or form. In an ideal world, we'd always be connected. But when it comes down to it: We aren't at all just yet. I can't afford to not be able to work when my internet connection drops. What if you have a powercut? What if you are on a flight? What if your network goes down?
- mataug 13y agoAs I said these are quite specific to a few people who need to work while travelling. I live in India, I face this all the time, but I overcome this by effective time management.
- andyhmltn 13y agoWell travelling isn't the only circumstance. I just can't find any situation where not being able to work without an internet connection is a good thing. Also: You have to deal with a central repo. What if that goes down? What if that corrupts? Single point of failure and all.
