Overall Satisfaction with Git

We use git across our entire organization. We used to use SVN back in the day, but switching to Git has made our lives so much better. Ease of use is excellent and it's a much cleaner approach to version control.
  • Distributed versioning. Being able to have each developer working on their own stuff without stomping on each others' changes is very important.
  • Incremental versions are very crucial to proper development.
  • It's so much faster than SVN. You can check out a repo in probably 10% of the time it took using SVN.
  • There is no official UI for git, so you need to be somewhat familiar with the command line.
  • Undoing a merge could be made easier, but there are definitely complications in allowing something like that.
  • It has made us faster as a whole. We seem to be able to develop much quicker using Git as opposed to SVN.
  • It has made life easier for each developer. Being able to work on your own version of the code base is very nice.
  • SVN
Git is so much better. I could never go back to using SVN.
If you are doing any sort of software development, you need to be using Git.
