New Git Available for PS3 Devs!

[brakk3n]

I'm sorry, but I do not see how adding "another" GIT is going to help anything. For one no one can guarantee it will not go down no matter what they promise and if I were a PS3 developer I wouldn't want to have to go to 10 places (made up number) to get 10 different variations of different source codes. I agree having a single spot is a bad idea, but too many and you've got yourself problems.

what if they have something "new" ?

Well, you are wrong about several statements there in that statement. I don't hold that against you, you just aren't informed enough to know what your talking about-- and that's OK.

When Dashhacks had their git repository running for developers there was quite a bit of collaboration there and things moved forward, I think pretty well. I've said that in my previous interviews I believe and repeatedly said this is what the scene needed. It also allows new developers to have a spot to look for code and understand how the code works... and for seasoned developers to get involved with a new project that looks interesting and possibly even contribute code to a new developer that they would not otherwise know. Additionally, it gives the developers a place to share their code when they release it and people can see the changes made to it... this is much better than just releasing a zip of the source.

Do seasoned developers need this? No. We typically would build our own and share it people we are working with before release and during development. This is a great opportunity for 'un-seasoned' developers to get involved, and by that I mean all of you who can code or might want to who are standing on the sidelines crying nothing new is coming out.

(Full disclosure: the company that bought psx-scene and psgroove also bought dash hacks, and at that same time dashhacks was bought the git went down to never return.)

It's also nice to have everything in one spot.
I could not think of a better spot then ps3devwiki

Are you serious? why could they do such a thing? i am going to school right now to learn basic programming and logic, i can program very basic stuff like making printf's and a very small program in python that takes user input like height, weight, age, and then once you fill out the information it printf's back to you that you are "X" tall, "X" heavy, and "X" old, i know prety lame, but its a start. :P but my overall goal was to be able to make some homebrew and then update it to make it better and better. if all the repositories go down in flames, then where the hell would i even start at. i know seasoned devs dont have the time to show each new programmer the ropes, thats what good repositories are for, but anyways i am glad to see another pop up.

this attitude right here is why the scene isnt moving forward, the very first comment was in this topic IS BS. and every dev that see's this realizes why the ps3 and its "sceners" dont deserve shit. be glad someone is contributing. who cares if there were 100 repo's? if i were any good at programming my self, i would love to search different repo's for something new.

I would have to say that any progress can be considered good progress. And that anywhere people can get together to work and share ideas and help is a great thing. We here at PSX-SCENE have been looking for a similar solution for all of our wonderful devs. We are glad to see this available.

As a programmer myself (not for the PS3) I've never used GIT's so I guess my limited understanding on having more is better is the current attitude towards them with PS3 developers is just that.

I never said I deserved anything nor am asking for anything so I'm sorry if I offended anyone - other then you. I still see no reason why there should be X # of ps1ight variations as *personally* I would get confused, but if it helps the coders whip up more homebrew then great!

Since you are a developer, I'll assume it's for windows (because I think if it was linux you would have heard about git)... Think of it like a source safe (M$ calls it team foundation server this week, IIRC) database that 100 developers have checked out a code branch and are coolaborating on the code. The "checkins" are the pull requests, and in this example the source safe db is a git repository and the forks are the checked out code.

Now contrast that with 100 developers with local copies on their C: drive--- then try to merge it. This example, local copies (without checking out code) are the various git clones... that aren't forks.

i was just pointing out how you automatically jumped to "this is useless". it is critical for there to be backups of backups. take ps3devwiki for instance, when it goes down, where you gonna turn to? def not any ordinary forum. it is in fact GREAT that there are multiple copies just incase of "emergency". just dont be so negative about something, geesh.
