I just set up my brand new git repository at github: http://github.com/jdutta. Don’t know what took me so long to embrace git but I am glad to be ready to move out of my CVS based workflow for personal projects.

A quick look at the tutorial was all I needed to convince myself towards this change. Now I can work on my personal projects from anywhere without worrying about merge issues later on. I just published my favorite config files under repository dotfiles. Could not be an easier backup/version-control mechanism.

Some good resources to learn git:
