Last week I have read post by Andrzej Mazur about hosting games on github pages and as this post covers things that were new to me I have recently found some nice tricks that can help with while working on these pages more effectively. Source:  http://enclavegames.com/blog/2014/02/02/host-your-html5-games-on-github-pages/ Now, what I mean? To use github pages you must create new branch on github called gh-pages so you have to options: delete master and use only gh-pages push to gh-pages from time to time but work on master Both have it's strong and weak points. 1: Working on gh-pages alone is easier but you will struggle to add any build process so you have to use unoptimized resources in your game. 2: You maintain some kind of optimized version of a site or game in gh-pages branch and use master branch as src. Downside of this approach is that you need two folders cloned from the same repository on disk and force build script to know about external directory ...

Github created Git Training that can be done in 15 minutes and make you familiar with Git. http://try.github.com/levels/1/challenges/1 Course is created by Code School and can be viewed also on  http://www.codeschool.com/courses/try-git Whole course is free, and you can learn most important things about Git, and I mean most of it. Really good work and I really can recommend doing it :)

There is new GIT homepage! Looks better and is much more useful, also for new users. For new users jest go to:  http://git-scm.com/ Look also at new GIT logo by Jason Long:  https://github.com/blackant Image from:  https://github.com/blog/1125-new-git-homepage

There is new application for Git that works on Windows and Linux (using Mono). http://code.google.com/p/gitextensions/ This application is interesting because looks stable, and have very friendly installer (msysGit is included). I saw it on Windows and this works pretty stable.

Idea is not new, similar approach can be found in many places but now it has nice name. Lately I read Node Web Development and Node.js modules in npm used this approach to make npm so awesome. Read more at website:  http://semver.org/ In a brief: There is API, it can be code or whatever but this is treated like API. Use 3 numbers: 1.2.3 - <major>.<minor>.<patch> Patch - bugifex - API comatible Minor - new or compatible API changes Major - any incompatible API changes How this can help? By using "strict" convention this can be used by tools (like npm) to make it easier to You to update dependencies. If You use library in version 1.2.0, then You can update easily it up to 2.0.0! Of course it is better co confirm it by developer that this really works, but if library developer uses semver like You, it should! There are many other rules, if You can't use it, at leas show it to You's co-workers, it would be great to really standardiz...

I was unable to put my Git repository to new SVN one, so for the future first create dummy svn repo, then clone it using git svn and work on this :)
