Git Link Roundup

I’ve been working more with git lately and have found a few more interesting sites I’d like to share.

The Git Community Book is a great quick reference for finding out how to use a command if you can’t recall from the man page.

If you want to really understand the gory details of branching and merging with git (and I do highly recommend understanding them … easy branching is the best part of git coming from a svn background), then read this long article on LWN.net.

Also, R. Tyler Ballance has a series of blog entries on moving his team from subversion to git. I especially liked Team Development with Git which details the bad habits of developers that are just becoming familiar with distributed source control.

The Battery Powered blog tells us how to deploy a Git Repository Server in Ubuntu, which may prove useful soon. Currently, I’m just using Git for my local work and then pushing to a SVN repo, but I’d like to move others to Git soon.

scie.nti.st also explains how to host a Git repo. Both this and the Battery Powered link above use gitosis to make setup easier.
