BeanStalk and GitHub

Recently I have switch my clients over to either BeanStalk or GitHub, and I have to admit it is actually really nice to not have to worry about source control systems any more. It is one of those places where you really don’t add a ton of value by controlling the platform, and both systems have some really nice integrations, and since my BeanStalk client is big into Campfire and ZenDesk it does really tie together their world.

Git is still new to me and I’m only using it on the one project right now - though I have already seen the value in being able to quickly branch and also being able to commit locally (when on flights etc) really helps you make sure the commit messages are meaningful. I’m hoping to see a lot more of git in the next couple of months since I’m going to try and move all the new projects that way. Though if you are still happy on Subversion then BeanStalk is definitely worth a look.

Welcome to the my personal blog, I'm Philip Dodds and I am a Brit living in the US. I have been working in technology for about 15 years and been through a range of worlds from media to banks to open source. Still deep down I love to code and I'm a total geek. I enjoy seeing the world, good food, good bars and seeing my son.
