The wonders of github

I had the pleasure of setting up a repository with github. Never have I seen version control be so easy and downright friendly! I was able to set it up in something like ten minutes, maybe less, and I didn't even have git installed going into it. I don't even want to think about how many headaches I would have to have dealt with to get a subversion repository up and running.

It came highly recommended, but I had no inkling that it would be so streamlined. It even builds a short list of steps--dynamically, using the email address and project name you entered--so it's a no brainer to follow along. I, too, would highly recommend it for anyone looking for an easy solution for version control hosting. And now that Xcode 4 will have support for git built in (and some pretty sweet diff tools), it should be a headache-free solution in the long run, too.

All this may even make version control so easy that it's fun. Almost.
