source control…but distributed

Sit has started since this monday and yet I haven’t heard anything related to my web app. This is worrying me considering the amout unit test I wrote. Much of my unit testing end up testing the dao layer. And I still havent figure out the best approach on testing the client side interaction, especially on ajax part. Well I guess tomorrow since I’ll be going to client side might as well I ask the test manager himself.

Going to client side pose some problem since;

  • source control, using svn meants U need to have connection to central svn server which turn out I dun have any.
  • creating patches, also its troublesome since I can’t track, commit changes to the svn server

So the only solution for now is to use GIT, and guess who its creator? Its no other the father of linux, linus torvald. Git pretty much like svn minus the central server. What makes it so great coz it have several bridge tools to integrate with SVN. So you can commit at ur local Git then put it into SVN. How cool is that?
