Derek (quote) Am I correct here: getting to grips with GIT helps speedy upgrades, flexibility in what you do and how you do it? It actually becomes less of a "Big Deal" to upgrade. You can pull a small fix.
Yes that is my understanding, added to which you can also contribute by sharing/pushing/committing (whatever the term is) your fixes or improvements with others.
I want to learn Git for all those reasons.
Glenys -I don't understand Git at all yet - I can merely copy letter for letter two commands -one to get Moodle and one to update it But it's a start and one day I hope (like Mary Evans) to be able to create repositories, test the latest fixes as they happen, do all that forking stuff
and, who knows, maybe one day offer something of my own even if it is only a language string (which is just about my limit!) And on the subject of language, I had to smile when Linus in the video, for all his fluency in English and Git, I swear he said "securier"!
And Howard- such is my ignorance that I don't know the difference between "the command line" and the other stuff I copy into my little black box (Windows power shell to give it its real name)
