Day 4 - Source control and IDE

Even if I haven't code yet, I have to set up my coding environment.
I choose Git as source control tool and obviously I will put Github over Git to share my work with the community.
No secret about my work, on the contrary I'm looking forward other developer critics and remarks.

Git :
Installing Git on Ubuntu is really strait forward, very easy.

>sudo apt-get install

Once the installation is finished, you can test it using the command line

>git --version
git version 1.8.3.2

If you want to have a particular release, for exemple the latest (1.8.5.1), you can follow this tutorial.

GitHub repository :
For main source control repository I use github so I have to create a new repository to store all my code.

I have already an account on GitHub, if not, it's really simple to do it, no need for help ;)

I create a new repository from the home page of my github account and is already available for cloning :

>git clone https://github.com/herveDarritchon/j2d2-source-code.git

I will create a another one to store the application, the first one will be for various stuff.

>git clone https://github.com/herveDarritchon/couchbase-content-introscope

IDE :
I use IntelliJ as Java and Web IDE at home. Usually we are using Eclipse at work so it's a good to test this wel known IDE.

Eclipse is free, IntelliJ is not. So make your choice. Both are quite good. Lots of plugin, great stuff.
