Git version control for Boost: Home Page

The Git Challenge

The challenge for those who believe Boost should use Git for version control is to articulate rationale and document whys and hows, as they apply to Boost. This is the home page for that documentation.

Please contribute! Please keep articles brief, focused, and to-the-point. Longer, in-depth, coverage of a topic should go on a separate page. Remember that there is plenty of "why Git is better" and "how to use Git" stuff on the web. We need Boost specific material.

Git Topics

• Why should Boost move to Git? Provides the rationale for moving to Git.
• How can a Boost library developer get started with Git? Individual Boost library developers can start using Git to maintain their libraries long before all of Boost moves to Git.
• Windows users, particularly TortoiseSVN users, will want to install TortoiseGIT, which can be tricky. Here's how.

Git Links

• ​Git's official website.
• ​TortoiseGIT is a port of TortoiseSVN; of great interest to Windows users who prefer a GUI interface or already use TortoiseSVN.
