Question thread #9

It's been way too long since the last question thread (why didn't anyone poke me?) so let's have another one!

The rules:

- You may ask any dev-related question you have in a comment. (It doesn't even need to be about Dreamwidth, although if it involves a language/library/framework/database Dreamwidth doesn't use, you will probably get answers pointing that out and suggesting a better place to ask.)
- You may also answer any question, using the guidelines given in To Answer, Or Not To Answer.

I'm kind of terrified of switching over to Git, but I would like to fix a bug in it before too long. Is there a step-by-step resource that will help me ease into it as it's used on DW? Bonus points if it tells me how to get BBEdit in on the game.

Is http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/wiki/index.php/Moving_your_Dreamwidth_installation_to_use_Github relevant to you?

Edit: there might be parts of http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/wiki/index.php/Newbie_Guide_for_Windows_Users which could help you too.

Don't know where you're at and what you need so sorry if that doesn't help.

Getting the move done should help me build some confidence, at least, and I can translate from Windows to Mac well enough: that second link should be helpful in getting the hang of Git basics. Thanks for the pointers!

Here is some stuff that I and the other OPW interns used for working with git. It's just the very basics though.

It also covers some stuff specific to our project, but you can just skip over that to where it says how to commit stuff and suchlike.
