I'm still trying to write a program for my phone but I've already got lots of versions of it spread over various filesystems.
My son has suggested that I use git and I see that there's an installable version for Mandriva. But before I go ahead and install it, is there anything I should know?
I'm not particularly interested in storing the my source code online so I would like to have everything local, either on this 'ere machine or perhaps on a NAS drive. Is this the best approach though?
I use git locally on my machine here at home to keep control of all the bits and pieces I write (mostly bash and python scripts but also some others).
As long as you can remember to commit changes fairly regularly it is a big help when trying to see where something changed/broke etc.
