I am using Git for many, many years. I am a big fan of it. How could that be different when you had to use versioning systems like CVS, SVN... I even took influence so that the whole company I work for migrates to it.
Over the years, I have used different Git clients, tried to work only from my IDE without much liking it.
Since Microsoft went to Windows as a service, so since Windows 10, I fully re-install my development machine, a Surface Book, with each main release of Windows.
As I hate to lose time, I searched a way to automate it, so that it is fast, repeatable and does the work, not me.
When I migrated our build to Cake (C# Make) we had one requirement which was to upload some of the build output's artifacts to DropBox at the end of the build.
The other day I wanted to send per email some code to a friend which doesn’t use Git. He is using Svn and I use Git Svn in front of this Svn repository. Why I do that? Don’t get me started…
So he couldn’t pull from my repo and we were kind of stuck. Really?!? For sure not, here was the goal I set as I am sure this will happen some other time: having the computer work for me. What a strange idea you would say! Yeah, the computer working for you. At the end aren’t we here to make the cool things and let the computer do the boring things?
