Since I have spare <a href="http://peepcode.com/">Peepcode</a> credits I got the <a href="http://peepcode.com/products/git">Git peepcode</a> which turns out to be a great introduction to what Git does best: easy branch and merge.</p> <p>At the moment I am trying to work through how deployment with Capistrano is going to go. My first thought is to have a "deploy" branch from which all deployment happens. Every time you want to deploy you merge to the deploy branch then fire up Capistrano. Is that more work than I need? The alternative is just deploying from master but that seems a little haphazard.</p> <p>I'm also weighing up how to collaborate. For some projects setting up a central repository to track the master branch using SSH and <code>git-shell</code> is appropriate. There is also <a href="http://gitorious.org/">Gitorius</a> which looks promising for open source projects. One of the ideas I always liked from Darcs was the ability to send patches via email. That always struck me as a good way to bootstrap a project.</p> <p>Early days but I like Git so far.</p> http://matt.blogs.it/entries/00002765.html
