Not really a site. Git is a source control repository.

Hi MrGodin,

Git is a source code site where people share code

Then it is totally useless unless you are working in a team heh heh.

You are thinking of GitHub or other places like it.

Git is source control software. It allows you to make separate branches during your development so that if you want to try adding a new feature you don't have to make backups manually, you just create a new branch, add the feature and if it works you merge the new with the old or continue on. If you find that it doesn't work, then you can just revert back to the main branch, and start from there.

It allows teams to have their own branches and can merge their progress when they are done. If there are any conflicts, instead of overwriting each other's work, it can not the discrepancies so it can be resolved before finalizing the merge.

ahh.. interesting, never fully used it, but i have downloaded source from there ..

Hi albinopapa,

Well I make incremental backups anyway, and save to dropbox too, so if anything happens I can always go back. So no need for tihs extra feature.

[albinopapa]

I use to use the dropbox method. I'm still experimenting with things so I don't have any projects worth uploading to another computer at the moment. I do like the branches feature of source control. I use it for what I mentioned earlier. It makes more sense to me to use a tool that simplifies things than to "do it the hard way".

Anyway, to each his/her own.

Well I'm not backing up anything at the moment since I'm still learning 3D and didn't start a project of my own. But if I did, the git sounds awesome for backing up. Having the ability to create another branch, go from there, turn back to the main branch if you failed miseribly and so on. Seems like a perfect way.

I found a key for Visual Studio 2013 ultimate. So that's what i have been using. I love visual studio.
