Originally posted by VectraMan View PostI set it up to play with. It's one of those open-source projects that you have to build before you can use it.

You shouldn't feel like you've accomplished something when you manage to commit your code... it's a key principle of software tools that the harder they are to use, the more people won't bother.
And no you don't need to build it yourself whoever complained about that... getting Git on my Windows PC was quite straightforward and it works fine, it's just understanding how to use it that is a PITA. We use the github flow which is about as simple as it gets and still SVN is much easier.
DVCS are very cool at merging but I would rather have SVN that can do the merging properly in the first place.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

I am trying to work with a load of developers that don't quite understand the concept, and I am hoping pretty pictures and small words might make it easier for them to understand.Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.Comment
