Last week I went to the Git Merge conference in Berlin! I brought my improvised digital recorder (a Nexus 7 connected to a pair of PlayStation Singstar mikes), and recorded a good few interviews, enough to make four episodes for GitMinutes, of which this one is the first.
In this episode we talk to Drew Neil. He is the man behind Vimcasts, and the book Practical Vim. A couple of years back he did a whole bunch of screen-casts on how to use Git from inside of Vim, and this is what made me want to get him on the show.
Martin is a software developer since 15 years, focusing mainly on Python. I met him at a conference some years back where I talked about Git-SVN, and he talked about Mercurial, and we got to have some really interesting discussions on Git vs Mercurial, some of which we were able to recreate for recording this episode.
Finally, new users might find a minimal ~/.hgrc file with my favorite extensions useful:
[ui] username = Your Name <your.email@example.net> [extensions] # Color output and show progress bars in your terminal color = progress = # Pipe output into a pager pager = # Enable 'hg rebase' and 'hg pull --rebase' rebase = # Enable 'hg histedit', like 'git rebase -i' histedit = # Enable 'hg record', like 'git add -i; git commit' record = [pager] # Set $PAGER or specify the pager to use here: pager = less -FRX
