If Git is not already installed on your system download the newest version from http://git-scm.com

Tutorial:

A good tutorial for git can be found at http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gittutorial.html and a more detailed tutorial can be found at http://progit.org/book/.

Examples:

Before you work through these examples you should have read tutorial above and know how to checkout and commit code to a repository.

This example explains how to clone and use an existing repository (comsol) and how to use it.

• Login on hyper.pa.uky.edu
• Clone a existing repository. The command will create a new directory called comsol.
  • git clone /home/dwagner/repos/comsol comsol
  • git clone USERNAME@hyper.pa.uky.edu:/home/dwagner/repos/comsol comsol
• Go to the new directory comsol.
  • cd comsol
• Make any changes you want to do.
• To keep up with changes/pull changes done in the remote directory use:
  • git pull

If you want to create a public repository so that somebody else can access your code:

• Assume you have a local repository at cour computer!
• Log in on hyper.pa.uky.edu
• Create a directory where you want to store your new public
  • mkdir repos
  • mkdir repos/PROJECTNAME
• Go to the new directory
  • cd repos/PROJECTNAME
• Create the new repository (with the --bareoption yout tell Git that the only purpose of this repository is to share code. You can not commit changes directly to this repository!)
  • git init --bare
  • log off from hyper
    • exit
  • got to the location of your local repository
  • push your your code to the remote repo
    • git push USERNAME@hyper.pa.uky.edu:repos/PROJECTNAME
