* How git talks to itself is how it talks to you
** Once you understand git talk, you understand git
* Use fedorapeople.org ACLs to give commit permission
** As a pre-fedorahosted.org step
* The program <code>giggle</code> is a graphical viewer, but it's not maintained.
* Use <code>git commit --interactive</code> to do a patch, if it is three lines away from other unchanged content
* Use <code>git status</code> before you commit to be sure you are doing what you mean to do
* <code>git checkout</code> == switch to a branch
* ''master'' == HEAD (basically)

  1. Write some code
  2. Do git-init
  3. To commit, do git-commit
    • Do a short commit message (for first line browsers), then do more details below
      • The newline character is the marking point, the extra line space makes nice formatting
      • git shortlog
  4. git-config --global --list
    • git-config --global user.name "Foo Bar"
  5. git status
  6. git commit -a
    • Tells git to only stage files that have been modified or deleted, but ignores new files
  7. git clone http://katzj.fedorapeople.org/git/fudcontest.git
  8. git commit --interactive
  9. On fedorapeople.org to get an executable: ln -s /usr/bin/git-update-server-info git-update-server-info
  10. git commit test => error: pathspec 'test' did not match any file(s) known to git.
    • == you forgot to add it
    • git status
    • git add test
    • git commit
  11. git pull
    • Only if you have no changes locally
    • Merges changes or forces you to fix (as you go)
    • Shoves the trees together
    • Best practice -- avoid running git pull on anything that is r/w
    • Try a rebase:
    1. git rebase
    2. gitk -- GUI view of the repo
    3. git fetch
    4. git commit --interactive is useful
  12. git branch -- use only to see what branches you have and what you are in

Branching

  1. mkdir foo/ bar/
  2. cd foo/
  3. git (a branch) foo
  4. git (a branch) bar
  1. mkdir livecd-tools.master
  2. git clone ssh://git.fedorahosted.org/git/livecd.git livecd.f9
  3. cd livecd.f9
  4. git clone ssh://git.fedorahosted.org/git/livecd.git livecd.f9
  5. git branchv
  6. get checkout --track origin/f9-branch -b f9-branch
