Source Control In Netbeans - Of SVN and Git

I'm on the CLI side, too. Crank up a console and keep it running somewhere - amazingly useful things.

With git, you would create a branch like this:

Code:

$  git branch foo

This creates a branch called foo, but doesn't automatically check it out for you (in other words, you're still working in whatever branch you were before you ran that command).

You then need to do this:

Code:

$  git checkout foo

You can see available branches (* next to the currently selected on) by running git branch.

I think the CLI makes this easier, clearer and safer than any GUI possibly could.
