Well, as you know, I've been an advocate of distributed SCMs for some
time now. I adopted git maybe three or four months ago and have been
quite pleased. The availability of GitHub really made the switch
worthwhile (versus other systems). It's great to be able to work
within an SCM on a project that you don't have commit rights to --
makes the patch submission much better. Being able to yank other
people's patches into my own fork is pretty cool, as well.
I've gotten into the habit of creating a new branch for just about
anything I do. New feature, bug fix, etc. Master stays very stable
in this regard. The ability to commit locally means I can work on a
pet feature with all the wonders of an SCM and only push the final
product when it's not a heaping mess.
In any event, I've found it has really improved the quality of my
projects and my throughput. I've migrated nearly all SVN projects I
have control over to git.
