git

After hearing my colleagues talking today about how cheap the VPS got in the last few years, I almost convinced myself that I have to switch. But I've decided to give my old shared hosting package from Hostgator another try. Buying a VPS package only to install Git is not the smartest thing to do, as you can get better and cheaper services from source code hosting providers like github.com or bitbucket.org.

The simplest way to install Git is from the EPEL repository. You can add the EPEL repository by following my previous post on this subject: Adding the EPEL repository to CentOS 5.x.

But if you need, for some reason, to install Git from source, then you'll have to follow these instructions

Joining the social coding movement, I've decided to migrate all my projects from google code's subversion to github.

Everything went smoothly, as github can directly import SVN repositories. All you need is the Suversion repository URL. After creating a github repository you have the option to "Import a Subversion Repository".
