In my opinion, if you are on a *nix-system, there is no reason whatsoever to use Subversion. Git is so much better it's almost ridiculous. On Windows, I don't know, but I've heard Git is getting there...
At work we, unfortunately, switched from Subversion to Perforce. Perforce is arguably a better system than SVN but compared to Git it sucks too. The good thing about Git is that you can use it both with Subversion and Perforce. I almost don't have to touch the shitty Perforce apps at all. Using Git with Subversion is more or less completely transparent. So my advice is to use Git. Linus himself may be a git, but in this talk he is also right: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XpnKHJAok8 Git is much better suited to a lone developer OR a small dev team OR a ridiculously large one. Using Git for deployment is also really simple and cool, and can be used with your own local repo as well. Just check out .git/hooks dir in any Git repo. You can do something like (this is from a hooks/post-receive, slightly edited): export PUBLISH=/home/someuser/public_html export GIT_DIR=/home/git/somerepo/.git rm -rf $PUBLISH/* cd /home/git/somerepo cd $PUBLISH git checkout -f mkdir -p $PUBLISH/tmp/cache/models mkdir -p $PUBLISH/tmp/cache/persistent mkdir -p $PUBLISH/tmp/cache/views mkdir -p $PUBLISH/tmp/logs mkdir -p $PUBLISH/tmp/sessions mkdir -p $PUBLISH/tmp/tests chmod -R 777 $PUBLISH/tmp chmod -R 777 $PUBLISH/tmp/cache echo "Published files to live web directory..." cake migrate ------------- On Jan 28, 12:00 pm, leo <[email protected]> wrote: > This has probably been discussed before, but I can't find anything > specific. > > Why does CakePHP use SVN, while The Chaw appears to use GIT? > > Should I be using one rather than the other? > > Will CakePHP eventually migrate to GIT? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
