onramping developers new to git

The TODO item "Write some documentation about git usage for our developer, existing page Subversion could be used as a starting point, and a list of useful links." -- well, we have some raw material in Brion's presentation at NOLA hackathon: NOLA Hackathon/Sunday#Git stuff, File:Git notes - NOLA Hackathon 2011.pdf, File:Git notes - NOLA Hackathon 2011.oga .

git protocol?

Out of curiosity, are there plans to support git:// repositories next to the https:// ones? -- 67.164.57.135 22:08, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

No. The git protocol, while faster, is insecure. An attacker could potentially MITM the connection and mess with your data. ^demon (talk) 22:30, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
