Should I learn git or subversion in order to launch and manage a site?
I have never launched a site nor used any kind of source code management so I am wondering what makes sense to start learning in order to launch a site. I would like to be able to push edits to the site which will be hosted remotely. When it comes to maintaining a live site, is there anything about subversion or git that makes one better or easier to use than the other? Any other useful information is welcome. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Git may be a little harder to understand for the first week or so, but it''s a lot more flexible than Subversion. I would advise you to use Git -- but do eventually get familiar with both programs, as they represent two different paradigms in how to manage version control, and they''re both in common use. Git is increasingly driving out Subversion, particularly in the Rails community. Also get comfortable with Capistrano.> Any other useful information > is welcome.Your question is pretty vague as it stands. I''m sure we could tell you more if you were more specific.

Re: Should I learn git or subversion in order to launch and manage a site?
When I first started to use source control (started developing rails apps a number of months ago), I always found the subversion documentation rather daunting so I never really took to it. I watched the railscasts git episode and it seemed so easy that it was a joy for me to start using. I would definitely recommend GIT...at least start a repository and begin adding commits...you can pick up the more advanced techniques as you go!
