Git Gets Demystified and Subversion Control

Would recommend a read: Git for Subversion users, Part 1: Getting started

I on my part love GIT, but sigh the corporate world !

i also want to get comfortable with git since its getting hot these days

edit: also amusing and informative wikipedia page about how git came into existence: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software) thanks to none other than torvalds himself...

Huh, what exactly is different in Git? I use tortoise SVN in my office.

Hmmm first thing, yup apart from being a VCS, its a distributed one unlike svn and that makes it a real beauty. For my own usage, I end up doing a combination of Perforce + CVS to behave in a crude manner what git does. So yeah git is much better than SVN.

I would suggest going through the rant of Torvalds as why he wrote GIT. I believe he gave the rant at Google in front of all the techies and made them feel wimpy about there usage of SVN. Thats an excellent video.
