Git is a distributed revision control / software configuration management project created by Linus Torvalds, initially for the Linux kernel development.
Git is by far my favourite revision control system. I not only use it for software management, I also use it as my backup system for any of my text files.
Examples
Basic
- Quick help
git help # returns most common commands git help -a # get a list of all installed git commands man git-add # man page on the 'add' command
- Start a new git repository:
mkdir my_new_project && cd my_new_project git init # create some new files, then: git add . git commit
- See what has changed since last commit:
git diff
- A more concise way to view what has changed and what needs to be done
git status
git-svn
The following three commands will import a remote svn repository into a local git repository.
mkdir pymmlib && cd pymmlib git svn init -t tags -b branches -T trunk https://pymmlib.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pymmlib git svn fetch
