Anyone with experience in Git?

First of all, fsck this summer. It should not be 40 degrees in Canada, and there should not be an average temperature of over 35 degrees for over a month.

I hate the sun, I hate the heat, and I wish to hell it was winter.

Second of all, when I moved out of my parents' place, my brothers kept the PS3. I bought a PS2 today, and picked up a ton of my old PS2 games. Breath of Fire III, Burnout Revenge, Tekken Tag, Twisted Metal III, Team Buddies…So many old, but awesome games. =D

Thidly, I spent way too much money on a cross country hardtail bike (Rocky Mountain Vapour), but I love it to death, and I ride the Niagra Escarpment with my coworkers every weekend.

Anyway, to get to the point of this blog, I want to start doing work with version control. I've settled on working with either Git or Monotone - leaning waaay more towards Git, since it's more popular, and I don't need the extra emphasis that Monotone puts on correctness.

I know there's a lot of resources online about Git, but has anyone else worked with Git? And if so, would you recomend it, or should I be looking at something else? Should I be wary of certain problems that a newbie might run into?

Wait, what? Oh yeah, you guys use Celsius up there, huh.

@Nighthawk: everyone except for the US uses celsius. I dont know why we dont use it too.

I unfortunately have no experience with Git.

Actually relatively I dont have much experience of any kind besides PHP and GML.

I live in the Okanagan and it's been raining for a month. Hasn't been over 20 for more than 1 day a week.

Eh. Fall/spring are my seasons nowadays. Winter gets too cold, or at the least there's the stupid snow to deal with. Or ice. Rain sucks 10x more because it usually just makes it wet and cold.

Summer is usually too hot, or it's too hot to go out and get to work - as opposed as just going to hang out. Rain sucks, because it's usually too damn hot, and it just makes it more humid. Also thunderstorms making it worse. Also, unless your lucky it just gets humid.

Those seasons suck when snow doesn't give you a day off from school, or if summer means no work/schoolwork. Especially if you lack cash to MAKE them amazing seasons. :/

Git is very good, and very popular (So any queries you may have are likely already answered), I can recommend it.

I swear, I'm going to learn the Metric system one of these days.

Imperial sucks so freaking much.

I've been working with git for over a year now, it's great. I recommend reading the free ebook 'Pro Git', it explains everything you need to know to get on track. Once you start working with it you'll wonder how the hell you worked before without it.

Yeah, the popularity is probably the biggest reason it's at the top of my list (after I narrowed down and removed version control systems I don't like of course)

Josea: I'll check out that book if I get some time. Thanks. =)

Darthvendor: I'm over in southern Ontario. The company I work for has a tech over in Kelowna, and while we're over here bitching about the heat and the sun, he's sending us sarcatsic messages. =P

To eveyrone else: metric just makes sense. Use it.
