I know other version control software exists, but does anyone use it? Why? What are the differences? All I’ve ever actually seen people use is git.
I actually kind of miss Subversion etc now. Git was perfectly designed for open source projects, but its easy branching model has significantly undermined the practice of Continuous Integration in enterprise environments. I get that maybe devs just prefer working in an isolated branch, but something has been lost.
Couldn’t agree more. We used Crucible as a code reviewing tool, which allowed us to develop directly on main while being able to pick-and-choose commits to add to a review. This closed that CI gap for us in a meaningful way.
However, Crucible seems to be reaching end of life (my company even denied renewal of licenses for it). So now we’re forced back into Gitflow, and it’s sooooo painful.
