25 Tips for Intermediate Git Users
I’ve been using git for about 18 months now and thought I knew it pretty well. Then we had Scott Chacon from GitHub over to do some training at LVS, a supplier/developer of betting/gaming software (where I’m currently contracting) and I learnt a ton in the first day.
As someone who’s always felt fairly comfortable in Git, I thought sharing some of the nuggets I learnt with the community might help someone to find an answer without needing to do lots of research.
Is there anything GitHub doesn't do?
Many projects developed for a LAMP stack use the mainstay of subversion for version control. It's been a while since I've heard of anyone still using CVS and most LAMP projects haven't yet moved to git. As I'm a dual PHP/Ruby on Rails developer I've jumped the fence and now use git for hosting all projects (except for the ones at my current contract where subversion is still the department standard). There are many reasons why git is better than other version control systems, but in this article I'm just going to talk about one particular git host - GitHub.com and what makes it so great.
