I appreciate your encouragement to *not change* and we really want to incorporate git, but we want to do it in the best way. Initially it just seems like a *lot* of over-head. However, as I've been using it myself for a couple of weeks it has become second nature, so when other developers begin also it might become more complex.
When someone copies their changes to the test server, the QA team is easily able to test it. So I am assuming the easiest way for us to move forward will be to use git locally on our machines with a centralized repository on github but continue to manually copy our files to the test server. Maybe we could create a test branch on github that we all push to and then pull that test branch from github to the test box? Atleast that will tell us ahead of time of possible merges. Ha! Initially, all we wanted was the ability to know when someone was overwriting changed code without having to create a spreadsheet somewhere of who has what. Thanks again!
