Goodbye CVS
Git was the best thing that happened to my life in the last month (no, really, it’s damn sexy…) At CERN we still use CVS (yes, sad but true), and I got so fed up with the “oh, no, don’t do that on the development branch… just do it locally” strategy, that I finally decided to try using git for my development history. Well, the experience has been great so far… It’s so easy to fork, merge, manage conflicts, etc… that I decided once and for all to never touch CVS/SVN again (unless forced to).
Thanks to Linus Torvalds (the creator of this wonderful tool), Junio Hamano (who maintains it) and Randall Schwartz (whose presentation at Google Techtalks helped me on learning the mechanics of git), as well as everyone at #git, on Freenode.
