i use the free team fortress server hosting you get from visualstudio.com for home projects. its actually way nice. I like 2 send builds to their server and then download the results even though I have a perfectly fine local build.

at work every package is its own git repo and teams are now starting to develop more packages simultaneously (from maybe 2-3 to 7-10). teams are slowly building up tools to manage git at the workspace level but i'm really confused why our tools teams haven't done more to alleviate this problem. at least their tackling things that individual teams couldn't reasonably work on themselves, like atomic commits across multiple packages and linking said commits.

git is okay if you're in a baby company and each developer needs to work on multiple issues at once so you have a different branch for each.

i went to an internal convention in spring that had a talk about "making our build tools better" and i thought hey this is something i'm interested in lets take a look.

and it was basically this guy showing off node and bower or whatever and saying look at all these templates and look at how fast it builds why cant we build faster?

not to say we couldn't improve our build times but most of the crowd was p dismissive of a dude who couldnt understand how a system that just pulls the HEAD of a repo is not applicable to us and how we build software.

many of the original ones, yeah; most VR people seem to have. I don't think it's a great choice now, but "hi I'm your new manager and we're changing version control systems!" isn't really how I want to roll

i know, right.

just use the workflow i posted

the difference between git and hg: to understand git, you have to read a pdf that explains its philosophy "from the bottom up". to understand hg, you just read its manual.

Are you trying to setup a central repo for git?

Just create a new git on a remote server and ask everyone to push to there. There's literally nothing else to it. Just some admin and network janitoring.

Use Tortoise Explorer integration to view changes, use command line tools for everything else.

I haven't been on SA for years but the person who gave me my previous av as a joke felt guilty for doing so and decided to get me a non-shitty av
I used to furiously hate git (the stupid name, the smug manual, the impenetrable user interface, the linuxisms, how it united tech bros and sperglords in unconditional cock-worship love) but I found that Sourcetree makes it not just tolerable but enjoyable. I am now a happy git and github user after 10 years of svn monogamy

(... the immature terminology, linus torvalds, github's lolrandom logo and childish 404 page...)

i found there was bit of an initial learning curve with git, but once past that it is incredibly easy to use and reliable. i do use tig for history/diff looking at though.

i've been using fossil recently, it's like hg cept I haven't run into any repository corruption issues in fossil yet (unlike hg 3 years ago). standard commands:

fossil commit --comment "my commit message" --branch newBranchName
fossil add .
fossil pull
fossil clone
fossil branch
fossil help <command name>
fossil ui

it doesn't have a good gui utility yet, but it has a built in webui which is pretty nice and is pretty flexible in how you theme it

also, it has an autosync feature where changes are pushed/pulled automatically every time you commit
