This will be an ongoing post with updates and questions I’m sure. I just wanted to document my Git trials and tribulations over the past couple of days.
So I was using SVN as I usually do and was getting frustrated with its tightness and slow transfers. I did some searching and ran across Git. Git turned out to be quite a thing. I had SVN on my NAS Synology Diskstation so I began trying to get Git on to that. In the end, no luck the ipkg for Git is nonexistent it seems even though others say it works, or at least used to.
I then went to linux (Ubuntu) for a trial. it installed and worked fine. however I was needing Git to work cross OS’s because I work with Windows 7, Mac OS X, and sometimes XP as well as Linux. Not only did I need it to work on these but I also needed a hand quick GUI or else it would be wasting my time when I could just copy the files to a server. I am really not looking for versioning, although it is nice, but more just to have a “home” for all my files. You may say, OK just work from server , or copy over files when your done working. I usually try this and never continue to keep things updated and then I have 2+ versions of every project. This is why I used SVN and now am trying Git.
As of now, I have Git on Ubuntu running and working. I have Git installed on windows 7 and running with tortoisegit. everything seems hunky dory. ….. update soon.
