Where I've used it is in teaching people who've never done any type of SCM as a group how to structure a project and how the branch / merge model should work and how to resolve merge conflicts, etc. I can't say I've read it cover to cover, but I've read chapters and used it as a reference a whole lot. There's another excellent book that costs nothing on amazon called "Ry's Git" which is a really thin to the point book about git. However, he's got a great chapter on the inner workings of git which I found both fascinating and educational. I still feel bad for the monotone guy...

I never read the book though I’ve read his blog posts and found an immense amount of utility from. I’ll have to pick that up.

Too damn many TLAs! [1]

To me, SCM means Scheme. For example: poly.scm is a program I wrote: http://www.free-comp-shop.com/poly.html while SCM is a implementation by Aubrey Jaffar.

I guessed that's not what Tim meant, so I went searching:

Google says it stands for Supply Chain Managment, closer but probably not right.

Wikipedia has about 20 other meanings including: Student Chrisian Movement -- Nope SubCarrier Multiplexing -- Probable not (Software Configuration | Source Control) Management -- Yes, one of those

Which one? If they are different. No matter. How could I know? Why should I care?

I'm convinced they've writing a piece of perl that simply goes through their documentation and when it finds a three letter word simply uppercase's it. On Thu, Mar 26, 2020 at 4:07 PM Michael Voorhis via WLUG < wlug@lists.wlug.org> wrote:
