What jobs aren’t requiring usage of these tools by now?
- collinvandyck76 6mo agoMost are, implicitly at least. But at the time, there was definitely a period of transition with many shops continuing to use subversion for a while.
- pjmlp 6mo agoAnd TFS, ClearCase, Mercurial, Plastic, Perforce, Fossil, CVS, RCS, .... Then there are those still using folders with timestamps.
- bluGill 6mo agoYou should be able to pick up tools and learn on need. There are better version control systems than git - always have been, but git won despite being worse. (Git was massively better than what was popular before it won) if you can't learn git quick then you shouldn't program at all - there are much harder tools you will need to know and many are company or project specific
- Xenoamorphous 6mo agoMercurial?
- bluGill 6mo agoThat is the one I know best but there are other options that people I tend to trust say are good. There are more options than I have time to give them an honest evaluation.
- debugnik 6mo agoJust last year I migrated to Git a major code base that was still stuck in SVN. It's not even a legacy project, just a laggard. For some colleagues, this was their first time using Git on the job.
- SoftTalker 6mo agoThere are large projects still using CVS. Not to say everyone should, but git is only a tool. It isn't essential, and there are alternate ways to achive the same ends with different tools.
