Learning Git

There's also a GitHub Desktop application you can use to connect to / manage / pull down code from GitHub.

Any value to that, though? Basically all you really want to do is...

git add .; git commit -m "My note"; git push origin

That's it. A desktop app would just be in the way.

Put in another vote here for gitlab.

What the best resources to learn Git?

Also, I am assuming GitHub to the best repository to use?

Thank you for making the thread I've been meaning to make for a while but never got around to doing it.

I use VS Code with GitLab.

Same here

I use Gitlab because of the built in runners. It's nice to have the CI/CD pipeline built directly in.

Jenkins and others obviously work with Github but being able to have a local system do the testing (that's automatically kicked off) while using the hosted Gitlab is pretty awesome.

I also use VS code and Atom (with the Git Plus package).

I need to install VS code. on my desktop. been hearing you two complement it.

It's pretty nice. The built in Git stuff is nicer than Atom. To me it feels faster than Atom also.

It's like Atom but with some benefits (and drawbacks.) If you like Atom and use it mostly for coding, VS Code might be the right choice for you.

@Bundy-Associates uses Bitbucket for now. But we are at the 5 collaborator max, so if we need to add a new collaborator I will take the time to move it all to Gitlab.

How well is the support for powershell in Atom? That's mainly the reason why I use VS Code for PowerShell.

Atom + bitbucket here. Unless I'm allowed to do open source, then github.

We use Bitbucket here. It is super cheap for small teams. We got JIRA and Bitbucket full versions running on in house servers with support for under $100 a year if you have less than 10 users.

GitLab is free for large teams. What's "cheap" when compared to free?

matter of taste: I've used both for coding (mostly python) and I prefer Atom. As far as git is concerned I feel constrained with both and I go straight to cmd line.

I generally use the command line too for GIT. Just so quick and easy, and works every time.

I find the integrations in the apps quicker for normal commits. Don't have to switch between the app and a terminal (or even switch to a terminal in the app). The shortcuts are quick, and auto-complete as you type. I've never not had it work.

Here's an example of how quick it is:

I can't figure out how to get the gif to work correctly.
