Before Git how did you save your code and track your changes?

tortoise SVN

Team Coherence, then Microsoft TFS, then Azure DevOps (which is technically still TFS), now migrating to Azure Git.

Before that, it was a shared network drive. Need to roll back or find a previous version? You contacted the network admins to pull the backup tapes. Yep, tapes.

Before git there was SVN.
And before SVN there was CVS.

Dropbox 🫣

What's git?

@Lensflare we still uses CVS 🙂.

badly with much sketch

Now another question: With Git are you making backups as well? So that Git is not a single point of failure.

Local drive folders with time stamps / versions. It was truly revolutionary at the time.

CVS, SVN, and Perforce

@Demolishun absofuckinglutely

Ctrl + Z

@Demolishun Dropbox versioned Git folders.

@joewilliams007 ouch

@Lensflare mhm. But whatcha gonna do? Migrate a 25 year old program from cvs to git? All the revision information and history...

OneDrive, and it sucked (can't even save dot files)

@fruitfcker

Missing final_final, final_for_real, actually_final and final_i_swear.

@joewilliams007 you don‘t migrate a 25 years old project. You kill it with fire :)

@Lensflare yesaaa. Makes too much money for that

@joewilliams007 bummer
