Hi codecall,
I have a problem at the office when it comes to working with others on the same project. I don't know much about git and from what I read it can pretty much solve my problem but I want to make sure it does before installing it on the server.
Problem
Currently 2-5 developers work on the same project simultaniously using multiple ftp accounts to login on the same directory on the server. that results in people saving the file and overwritting the changes made by others. and sometimes people wait for others finish up and close a certain file to edit it.

does installing git-core on the main server and using local copies of the project on each computer and modifying the main repository using push and pull requests solve this problem? or does it bring more headache?
also if this is the right way to go, does the server need to have a powerful processor or larer storage? (server is currenly running CentOs, core2quad and 500gb storage)
yo homie i heard you like one-line codes so i put a one line code that evals a decrypted one line code that prints "i love one line codes"
eval(base64_decode("cHJpbnQgJ2kgbG92ZSBvbmUtbGluZSBjb2Rlcyc7"));

Yes, it will solve your problem. However, there will be (probably more) headaches at first while you are learning to use it, but in the long run, it will pay off. Github provides free public accounts. Try creating an account on there and play around with it before you do all the work of setting it up on your own server.

No, the server does not have to be powerful.

Any of Git, SVN, or Mercurial will help a LOT. Git and Mercurial are much more flexible in their supported work flows, but they're all good.
Programming is a branch of mathematics.
