User:Laubersm/Git talk at FUDCon F11

my notes from attending the Git talk fudcon11:

git for dummies by dummies presented by Paul Frields
yum install git-all

program is deprecated

git config --global user.name 'Susan Lauber'


 * writes out to .gitconfig
 * I missed Paul's list of other global settings as a minimum

Get a copy of a repo git clone ssh://git.fedorahosts.org/git/docs/install-guide
 * make a directory for your copy then clone the repo


 * uses the .git subdir to hold objects, logs, info, branches, refs, and more
 * .git/hooks include scripts
 * .git/branches are low overhead, easy, very useful
 * .git/HEAD points to tip of history

..missing stuff.. while checking gpg fingerprints...

useful git commands:
 * status
 * diff and diff --cached  (from the "mob teaches Paul" series)
 * add
 * commit and commit -a

during commit edit msg
 * first line,keep it short (summery and email subject)
 * skip a line then type a longer log (details and email body)

git commit is just committing to local repo git push actually pushes up

to generate a patch file

reverting:
