Wow, awesome stuff. That's exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. And though you lost me a bit at the end, it's certainly pointed me in the direction of what else I need to learn.

Thank you so much for sharing all that! I'll try to update this thread when I get set up. 

Hey Craig, thanks for responding!

Here's my current setup, pretty much I'm looking for someone to tell me what sort of workflow I should be doing. I'm a PHP developer for a public web app. I work at my company's office and from home. Occassionally, another co-worker will add some stuff to the codebase of my app, but very rarely. I've got git installed on the company webserver and my mac at home, and msysgit on my work XP machine.

Right now I pretty much just do all my coding on a flash drive, upload from there to a development area on our webserver, test, and deploy using a PHP script I wrote that just backs up the current production code and copies over the development area. Of course, sometimes I forget my flash drive at home, and I know I'll probably drop it in the ocean one of these days, so I'm looking for something a little more, uh, professional. Not to mention being able to roll back my less than inspired code experiments would be helpful.

So my questions are generally about workflow and if there's a better way to set up my environment. I have a nebulous idea about how I should be developing and committing on the local machines I'm using, and maybe pushing to the repository on the webserver, or something?! As you can see, I need a little guidance. 

Any input would be very welcome!
