Am following you on Github. Post cool web projects and junk.

https://github.com/Protozoid

Also following Matt and logicalgamers. Forked the LG framework project, hoping I can turn it from something suckish and unusable into something new and practical. We'll see.

Couldn't find Artificial though. Where's yours bro. Anyone else I miss?
#2
Lol, like your >implython

And nerp, because mine is completely and utterly abandoned. Of course, I do have a few projects on it, but they're just for personal use and nothing you guys would be interested in.

I don't use Git. Not really a fan of it.

EDIT: You are Australian?

Nope. American/Oklahoma.

@Flare it's not actually mine, just a project I forked/cloned that I found somewhat interesting.

Really though, GAME, that's a bit of a let down.

Git is an awesome DVCS. If you're a fan of version control perhaps, I can't see how you'd be using anything else. I personally use Git/SVN. At first git, much like OOP, seems more or less pointless, unnecessary and tedious. But then when you start using it, it becomes rather addicting and second nature to you. Once you host one project you can't help but to put another and another. It's a great organizational solution.

Should use it sometime.

I'm not a fan of version control platform.

I imagine if I ever started using Linux, I'd be all over Git. But I just don't know enough about it and have never used or needed to use it. The Git for Windows just isn't something easy (fairly easy, but I mean, you have to be motivated) or worthwhile to jump into.

And @ Flare, https://github.com/flareboy323

Clearly you've put projects there before.

Nice try.



That's not actually my git, haha. I made that one for LG use, but I normally try not to go by "Flareboy323". It's an old name, and I stopped signing up for websites using that name a few years ago.

I would give you my real git, but... welp, there's nothing on it haha.

Git for Windows is actually easy as pie. I think I'm going to write a few Git tutorials and stick them somewhere on LG when I get the spare time. Git for Windows being mostly graphical is a good way to get your feet wet with Git. Once you learn git statically (Windows), you'll also know it dynamically (CLI/terminal).
#10
There is already a Git tutorial that GitHub made for the Windows release. It's really good, but like I said, I'm not even remotely motivated to learn it.

Eh, true. There's a lot of tutorials out there. I've really never found any to be "in a nutshell" though. Arbitrary tutorials sometimes are the best kind.

I'll help you get motivated.

What are you talking about? There's a GUI version of Git? The only one I've ever used on a Windows system is the terminal, and I found it fairly easy and not to complex at all. It almost reminded me of a UNIX/Linux terminal.

There are multiple GUIs for Git. Git Cola, Git Extensions, and more.

And yeah, Git isn't really hard. It's only fairly difficult to find the motivation to get started, as GAMEchief said.

There's GitHub for Windows, anyway.

Lol. You can install Git on Windows easily and use it as you would on any other OS. As for the quality of the framework, Matt coded it all, so you can blame him, haha.

I'm not hosting any projects on Github. I have a private Gitolite server which I use to host my repositories.
#16
We're referring to the GitHub for Windows project son. Maybe I should have been more specific when it comes to ambiguous topics like this.
