GIT: I'm in love with git

Why I liked git before:

• Distributed
• Fast
• Github
• (hip)

Why I love git now:

• Branching does not disrupt workflow

[code]

# …working on myBranch…

git stash

git checkout someOtherBranch

# …make your changes to someOtherBranch…

git commit

git checkout myBranch

git stash pop

# and I’m right back where I left off!

[/code]

• Rebase

[code]

# instead of:

git merge master

# and getting a messy commit log.. do this:

git rebase master

# and your commits starting after you branched
# are rewound and applied on top of the latest from master

[/code]

• The command line interface is so powerful and usable that I don’t rely on GUI tools (except for resolving conflicts)
• Pull requests (Github again)
