Version Control Systems (git, svn, hg) (12)

They exist. Let's talk about them, learn them, and maybe even use them.

Fossil is obviously the best.

THEY don't want you to know about Fossil.

Interesting. So,
1 developer - svn or just folders,
4-8 developers - fossil or svn
100-200 developers - git or hg

svn's branching kinda sucks compared to git
only used git and svn, haven't bothered with others
the thing I'm more interested about is trying out commit git patches via email as oppose to github, gitlab, etc... merge-request stuff. it was the intended way to use git anyway according to Linus and still how it was used in Linux git repos (no surprise). sourcehut does it that way also

I wanted to find how to create patch files on windows, and apparently git is the best way there is. Before that I tried to use http://unxutils.cvs.sourceforge.net/ , but it seems to have some S_ISREG related bug, and I'm too dumb to recompile it myself. Build systems are the worst part of C. I now wonder if it would've worked if I simply renamed patch.exe into ptch.exe, there is some fuckery on windows related to this.

I installed https://tortoisegit.org, and apparently that didn't install git itself for me, and redirected me to https://gitforwindows.org . Probably should've gone for the latter link first.

============Yeah, I shouldn't create patches by anything that isn't git. Patch files don't have a universal standard it seems. I'm still a bit annoyed that I have to tell people to install this pretty big program if they want to modify source code, when all I need out of it is patch and diff.============

The golden rule of git rebase is to never use it on public branches.

10 Name: Anonymous Techie : 2022-12-08 11:08 ID:Heaven

Apparently, with git, if you set passphrase when you create your public private ssh key pair, git will ask you for your passphrase every single time you will ever use git. So, don't set your passphrase if you own your computer and aren't paranoid of somebody sharing computer with you. Just set it to empty, it's fine.

git set identity per repository
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4220416/can-i-specify-multiple-users-for-myself-in-gitconfig

You can configure an individual repo to use a specific user / email address which overrides the global configuration. From the root of the repo, run

git config user.name "Your Name Here"
git config user.email your@email.com

whereas the default user / email is configured in your ~/.gitconfig

git config --global user.name "Your Name Here"
git config --global user.email your@email.com

A little gotcha about .git/config file. If it looks like this, it will work:

Host gitlab.com ssh.gitlab.com
HostName gitlab.com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/gitlab_com_ed25519

But if you don't have that ssh.gitlab.com and you try to clone something from ssh.gitgud.io, it will not work. That subdomain actually matters.
