Too much fun the tool I’ve came to know through my friend Adenilson’s blog. In a glance one can explore effort put into a project in a way much better than any other command-line or graphical application known.
The only boring thing is to use it in my machine, a hp pavilion dv4-2167sb, which, AFAIK, still lacks a good graphical acceleration support.
I’ve made a very basic debian package (using checkinstall) for people too lazy to compile/install by themselves.
Enjoy it and have fun!
Found out some interesting Git Hints presented as webcasts at the site below. The most interesting part was to learn how to create empty branches on it, so a project can be functionally separated without having to kludge your working dir with several directories.
Summarizing the lesson:
|
1 2 3 |
$ git-symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/emptybranch $ git-rm --cached -r . $ git-commit --allow-empty -m "Initial commit for empty branch" |
The library versus website example was perfect, but one can think about other relevant situations, like sub-projects inside a bigger project, management documentation or even meta-files configuring the repository itself (description and ACL).
Earlier this year I’ve spent some time gathering references to study Git, the version control system everybody seems to love nowadays.
Thankfully, someone took the time to bind several useful links in one central webpage. If you wanna start studying Git, that’s the place to start. Kudos for such practical people (more specifically Scott Charcon and Petr Baudis).

Just for reference, I’ll paste below the stuff I had.
