I'm not actually a fan of the solarized scheme and made my own which is included with my fork of the Soda Theme. (It's on the package manager as well)

Why fork it?  If you like soda, use soda.

I forked it because I made a few modifications. I basically mixed elements of both the light and dark themes. Nothing major but still enough to fork it so I can easily merge any updates from Ian without having to do my mods again.

It's definitely not a "look, I improved Soda lots" release. More a convenience thing for myself.

Gotcha. Ya Git is an awesome tool. I don't miss the dark days of SVN.
so, you've never used cvs or ms sourcesafe?

p.s. i looked into dark solarized and it looks nice to me.

+1 for visual SourceSafe being devilry. Theses posts make me think of Linus explaining why Git was needed. I don't remember it exactly, but something like: "Subversion says it is CVS done right. That's the problem. There is no way to do CVS right."

I personally wouldn't trust MS to do my laundry, never mind store my valuable code.

CSV is just a worse SVN, so no interest in working with them again.

Mercurial is a good distributed code repo, but since I already use Git to manage my life, I have no need to find another repo tool.

Git does so much more than just store my code and make it easy to work on.

"Subversion says it is CVS done right. That's the problem. There is no way to do CVS right."

I was going to paste that one quote from the talk too... It's an amazing talk and a classic. Now contrarily to CVS which becomes kinda very hard to spot in the wild, there are still quite a few people and companies using SVN.

I used to be a Mercurial fan and tried to push Mercurial (ah ah, "push") but eventually I saw the Magit light (Git mode for Emacs) and switched to Git, even for my own projects.

And, well, speaking of VCS and DVCS in a "Your Preferred Text Editor" thread... Is there any text editor or IDE where Git's support is as good as Magit?  8)

I must have missed when a thread about text editors turned into a thread about source code control.

Anyway we still have some stuff in CVS.  And some newer stuff in SVN.  And the newest stuff in git.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I use Perforce at work.  I don't mind it at all, except when the network is having issues.

Have you looked into the various Git extensions for Sublime Text? I myself prefer using either Tower on my Mac at home, SourceTree on my work machine or simply command line, but I've heard a lot of good things about Git in ST.
