Hey everyone, first post here. The other day I posted this to flashcoders, doesn't seem like too many were interested, so I'll try here:
Olaaaaaaaaaaaaa, I thought some of you might be interested in this. Before starting a little Actionscript project in FB, I installed git, the newest craze in source version control. I saw a bunch of netizens freaking out about it all over the place, and the ability to create branches effortlessly and to back up things easily appealed to me. So after a relatively painless install on my Mac, I had it going in the Terminal. I then started to experiment in FB. I created an Actionscript project, and then started a git repository in that folder (using basically only these commands: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/everyday.html --> Individual Developer (Standalone)). I wrote the basic engine for the swf and then created a new branch for guiing up this engine. At this point I saw the power in this approach. Basically, when I switch from the engine branch to the GUI branch, the AS code is updated in FB, quickly and correctly, which I sort of expected. But not only that, all the external assets are then loaded into the project. Furthermore as long as I keep committing changes to branches at important intervals, or new branches for new approaches/ideas, I have a complete annotated history of the project. I can load in any code at any point I committed and keep dead ends that might prove useful in some other project, or redo the gui for another swf some other day, and everything, including images and even compiled swfs, are loaded in as well. Dirt cheap and easy. I don't know, this is freaking me out, it is so good.
