Hello,
Thank you everyone for your replies. I'm liking GIT as I'm on windows at the
moment, but don't always have this box, and my server is a linux server which I
do like the idea of being able to pull my code.
First question, books on git, can you recommend some good ones?
Secondly, network communication say between my laptop and my server on the
internet, how is that handled? Is it encrypted or clear?
Just thought of another one, do either git or subversion integrate with any
development tools/environments?
Any more suggestions please keep them coming.
Thanks.
Dave.
