Sometimes there is just not enough time to read all those feeds. But you try to read them later and sometimes you succeed and that happened to me last weekend while I'm was riding to Berlin. I read Dr Nics great Article about Git and decided that it this was something I should try out for myself. Of course I get myself the latest TextMate Rails 2.0 Bundle via Git as Dr Nic explained in his other post, but I wanted to have my own Git.

I asked Bumi from our friends at Railslove.com if he could spare one of those github invitations and I was very happy he could. Today I finally found some time to setup a railsbros account and port our SVN repository over to github. The address is http://github.com/railsbros/nostromo/tree/master and everything you found in our SVN you can now find over there. I'm really looking forward to play around with this a little bit and will for sure write about it.

Read you online Dirk

    hmm, I always wondered what the key-advantage of git over subversion is. Subversion seems to be very suitable for all my recent projects I am working on. But I have to admit that I don't have taken a closer look to git at all :-/ I hope you will share your experience with git and I am really looking forward to "geek" a bit around with you about this topic ;-)

    We havn't any experience either, that's the point we tried this. I will surley write something about here and of course we can about it (maybe even next week at the workshop). I'm still searching for that killer feature and my opinion about Subversion is very similiar to yours. At this point I see the main advantages for open source projects which are distributed by nature rather than for any commercial projects which happen in a local space with a local team.

    Time will tell, I keep you updated.
