Overview
Git is a relatively new version control system. At present (March 2010), we are considering migrating the GEOS-Chem repository from CVS to Git, for a variety of reasons:
- Git avoids some of the limitations of CVS (which is by now 20-year-old software).
- Git is in general much simpler to use than CVS.
- With Git, GEOS-Chem developers will be able to:
- Download the most current GEOS-Chem source code online. (This will obviate the need for having to download the *.tar.gz files.)
- Develop and test their source code additions to GEOS-Chem in their own local repository, and
- Submit their mature source code updates back to the GEOS-Chem Support Team for inclusion in the standard mainline code
