Great Intro To Git
I have been asked by several folks lately in the ColdFusion community about Git. It seems that alot of the CF developers are so in-grained with SVN that they either wont consider Git or are afraid of it. Not sure which is the case. But I will say that Git has completely changed the way I look at source control. Ric Roberts has posted a really nice intro to Git that anyone interested in Git should have a look at.
Im planning to do a presentation on Git for the Online CF Meetup as soon as I get time to get the slides together so hopefully that will help de-mystify Git for some of you as well.

Thanks, thanks, thanks... Save me lots of time and trouble.
Frankly I’m neither scared of Git nor so dedicated to SVN that I won’t try it, but until the Git tools are better I can’t smoothly integrate it into my current workflow, so it’s not worth the time at this juncture. Until they have a solid plugin for Eclipse I just can’t use it as effectively as I can SVN.
I’ll look forward to seeing your CFMeetup presentation on it though. Very curious to learn more about it.
I guess I dont see if from that standpoint Matt. Im not an Eclipse user so Im used to hitting the Terminal to do lots of stuff. I code in Textmate so I have a terminal window open right next to Textmate and just bounce back and forth.
the egit eclipse plugin looks quite good already although i do not mind to work in the shell
