Quote/Cytat - "Sara L. Uckelman" s.l.uckelman@durham.ac.uk (Tue 30 Dec 2014 09:52:11 PM CET):
Learning how to use git should be considered a requirement of someone who intends to work in digital humanities, just as learning LaTeX is one for anyone working in math or logic.
Why just git? I'm quite happy with mercurial (and BitBucket.org, cf. e.g. https://bitbucket.org/jsbien/ndt/wiki/wyniki). This was not my own decision, but practically all my collaborators preferred mercurial over other version control systems, so I joined them. There is at least one multiplatform GUI (TortoiseHg).
Best regards and Happy New Year
