We still use SVN at my current job. I hated it at first because I was so used to Git, but then recently I tried git again for a personal project and couldn’t stand it. I can’t even tell how much of my opinions about it are actually fact based, and how much is based on “it’s different than what I’m used to and therefore it’s bad” anymore.
It’s been a long time since I’ve used SVN by aren’t things like branching more difficult? I guess for personal it doesn’t matter.
Not really. If memory serves it’s just
svn checkout branch_nameI have never used Git professionally but I’ll tell you the three biggest pain points when working with SVN that I know Git has proper solutions.
No local commits. On the latest SVN versions there is the concept of “shelves” which just basically puts your changes in a separate folder… as of last I checked it was still in Beta but it works decently.
Common code is a pain in SVN. The only way you can do this is using the externals property which has annoyances that seem to be handled better by Git Subtrees.
Commit squashing doesn’t exist in SVN. Not a problem for me personally but I’ve worked with some people that make me really wish I could squash their commits.
Git is really inefficient for large binary files because of the decentralization. SVN for media and Git for text-based files makes sense. Otherwise— I only used SVN briefly, and then fortunately only for media— But yeah, Git is probably better and more useful overall.
I wouldn’t want to go back to svn. I’ve gotten very used to git’s ability to carve up changes, etc.
