Hello, I merged it, because we need Git for development purposes. I am writing CGI scripts on the systems and commit small changes. Copying files back and forth would be error-prone and waste time.
That makes it clear what git is being used for. I am definitely following the copying files back and forth approach when I am working on some of the bugs and have found sometimes that I have had to start all over again because of errors. Makes sense to use git for managing that for the development work.
I love git. I am getting confused if I am editing files that are not part of a Git repository :)
When you use git on an IPFire system for evaluating changes, do you create a local repository on the system that holds all the changes you do? If yes then at what level do you have the repository. I would thing / (root) would be too high with all sorts of weird files in /dev and /proc that you don't want to track. Or do you create a new repository at an appropriate location for the editing work you are planning to do.
Thanks for any help/advice on this.
Regards, Adolf.
