So up until today I have only heard, read and watched Git happen. I have not yet actually tried it. So when I realized today that I actually had some spare time I thought I would dig into it and see if I could understand the hype and perhaps find it useful!
My very first step was to find a good tutorial on how to get started. I found one on Seascape Web that I found easy to follow and short enough so that I didn’t get lost. In the end I managed to setup my repo and commit my Double Key Dictionary source code (more on this later).
The next step will be to work with the code and Git to see how that feels vs. Team Foundation Service that I’ve been using so far.
You should also check out GitHub for Windows (http://windows.github.com/).
In addition to a GUI, it also integrates with Powershell, so you can use regular Git commands in Powershell.
Also, you should check out http://gitscc.codeplex.com/ for integration with Visual Studio
