Organizing your programming

[Carl C]

Git is terrible; use git.

The learning curve may be steep, but there is not much that you really need to know to use git effectively. Once you start using git for a bit, it becomes really useful. We started using git to organize all of our programs while I was a student on our and we have since been able to move a manage a lot of different projects using git. Our website is updated using git; our branding files are all managed by git; our robots are all version controlled in git. Git may not be perfect, but it works really well in facilitating collaborative development.
