I would like to put this in some sort of version control for source  
control as well as for easy deployment when i am ready for hosting.

So, please let me know, which is the post popular one git or sub  
version?  
most probably, i will be hosting in dreamhost.

If it is git, then what are the steps to put my new application which i  
have few pages in it, into git ?

I mean, how i put the existing app which i am working on into git ?

- thanks,  
radha

Hi,

Git is probably your best choice, it’s what most people are using.  
Github[1] has some great help pages for getting started. There’s also  
an online version of the Pro Git[2] book which is really good.

Yeah, but your note is like: I’m building a ruby on rails application,  
and while I’m writing the code I’d like to be eating a nice batch of  
chocolate chip cookies. Does anyone have a good recipe for chocolate  
chip cookies?
