Maintenance and Tweaks
Today has been a rather mundane day in terms of design work per se. Instead I have been adjusting, tweaking, maintaining and quite often getting frustrated with aspects of code that I’ve been dealing with. On the whole the outcome has been positive, but some of the steps taken to get there have been most irritating.
Why? I’ve been dealing with Versioning stuff for a while now. Both GIT and SVN have been popular of late and I’ve been trying to get to grips with them both. GITHub allows for a somewhat easy (also free) way to host publicly viewable Projects. So I’ve been toying with it for a few things I’m working on that I have no problems with people using.
For my personal, and work-related, projects, however, I have been using SVN to provide versioning control over them. This has, on the whole, been pretty painless… until today. Today I’ve been having serious problems with the files from one of my projects being repeatedly merged with the files from another. This results in code which, when unknowingly uploaded, kills the site I’m currently working on.
I seem to have gotten matters resolved (again) and will continue to experiment with both SVN and GIT. On a completely unrelated note, if anyone knows of good, reliable and affordable (read as free) Private GIT Repository Sites, I’d love it if you would get in touch with me at hi@davidturner.name.
Something to Say?
I love hearing from people that have something to say on a topic, but I have come to the conclusion that comments on my site aren't the best way to do this. If you have something you'd like to contribute to the conversation why not write a short article on your own site, or tweet about it? If you put something online, or want to comment on things, feel free to fire a tweet my way.
