Sounds like a plan to me and I like it too :) I've used git on a few other projects and love the speed and extra features. I also use git-svn client side on amdatu which works pretty well, but not perfect as you may have noticed in some of my commits :S > My proposal therefore would be to move Amdatu to Git, and given the fact > that we use the Atlassian toolchain, it probably makes the most sense to use > Bitbucket (which was acquired by Altassian some time ago) because it offers > us the best integration with the rest of their toolchain (integrating with > JIRA [1], Bamboo [2] and Confluence [3]). Like Toni I have a preference for Github, but that may be due to lack of experience with bitbucket. If there are significant advantages in (tool) integration with our Atlassian stack I have no problem with Bitbucket. > For working with Git, on the Mac there are a couple of great tools as well. > SourceTree [4] is free and works great, and a lot of people seem to be using > Tower [5] or Github for Mac [6] as well (for more background, see this > extensive thread at StackOverflow [7], which seems to favor SourceTree).

On Windows 7 I've been using a mix of git-scm [0] and EGit. The former is just a portable cygwin/bash/git/vim/etc. Works well enough, but no for Windows-only folk that do not know what a shell is. The latter is the Eclipse integration which is ok for tracking changes, compareing diffs, cherry picking, etc. Especially love the experience of switching branches in seconds :) Guess we should have some more input on TortoiseGit or some other windows tool. I'd hate to scare of folk by making it hard to get started on Windows, primarily because I work at a windows only shop when it comes to desktops. grz Bram [0] http://git-scm.com/ _______________________________________________ Amdatu-developers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.amdatu.org/mailman/listinfo/amdatu-developers
