Git is a version control ("revision control") system for programmers used to track and manage changes to code. It happens to be a decentralized system, with no "master" tree, and was originally written by Linus Torvalds to manage the Linux kernel sources.
Git Commands
To get a project's code for the first time, use "git clone" :
git-clone git://dev.laptop.org/<project-directory> (To get the code)
For instance:
git-clone git://dev.laptop.org/activities/epals OR git clone git://dev.laptop.org/activities/epals
You can update the code as follows:
git-pull (To update the code) git-status -a (To see the status of your commits) git-checkout -- (To undo your commits) git checkout HEAD -- filename (To replace filename with the one at HEAD)
For example, to clone the Sugar repository:
git-clone git://dev.laptop.org/sugar
