2005-08-01[PATCH] Updates to tutorial.txtLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-19/+17
Fix a few typos. Adapt to git-http-pull not borking on packed repositories. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-07-29Tutorial: use a bit longer sample filenames.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-40/+40
Darrin Thompson noticed when he was showing off GIT to others that the use of filenames "a" and "b" in the tutorial example was unnecessarily confusing, especially with our "patch -p1" prefix a/ and b/, without giving us any patch. I was very tempted to change them back to l/ and k/ prefixes, but decided to restrain myself and update the tutorial instead ;-). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-07-23Update tutorial.txt branches/tags to use the nicer helper syntaxLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-21/+31
Teach people to use "git tag <tag-name>" instead of writing the current HEAD by hand into the .git/refs/tags/<tag-name> file. Most people probably don't really want to know about how git does things internally.
2005-07-22[PATCH] tutorial: mention "git clone" records .git/branches/originLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-22/+18
Update the recommended workflow for individual developers. While they are tracking the origin, refs/heads/origin is updated by "git fetch", so there is no need to manually copy FETCH_HEAD to refs/heads/ anywhere.

2005-07-16[PATCH] Documentation: describe short-hand used in fetch/pull.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+28
Describe short-hand for remote repository used in fetch/pull. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-07-15[PATCH] Documentation: update recommended workflow when working with others.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-19/+42
Clarify that the hierarchy implied by the recommended workflow is only informal. Refer readers to nice illustration by Randy Dunlap. Separate out the step to "push" to own public repository in the workflow. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-07-15[PATCH] Documentation: pull, push, packing repository and working with others.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-74/+283
Describe where you can pull from with a bit more detail. Clarify description of pushing. Add a section on packing repositories. Add a section on recommended workflow for the project lead, subsystem maintainers and individual developers. Move "Tag" section around to make the flow of example simpler to follow.

2005-07-15[PATCH] Documentation: update tutorial to talk about push.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-7/+80
Talk about publishing to a public repository. Also fixes a couple of typos. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-07-08Update the tutorial a bitLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-8/+242
Add notes on branches, merging, tagging, and update some of the usage to the friendlier "git cmd" syntax. It's still ridiculously lacking, but perhaps it's a _bit_ more useful.
2005-06-14Update tutorial a bit for scripted helpers.Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-7/+19
2005-06-12[PATCH] Tutorial update to adjust for -B fixLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-7/+0
Now -B does not say silly "complete rewrite" anymore for small files such as the one in the tutorial example. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-06-02Clarify git-diff-cache semantics in the tutorial.Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-13/+28
Adam Kropelin points out that it wasn't all that clear at all what the thing does. This hopefully helps a bit.
2005-06-02Run the tutorial through ispell once moreLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-6/+6
People are making fun of me for being a bad speeler.
2005-06-01tutorial.txt: start describing how to copy repositoriesLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-3/+97
Both locally and remotely.
2005-06-01Update tutorial for simplified "git" script.Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-8/+19
Use "git commit" instead of "git-commit-script", and talk about using "git log" before introducing the more complex "git-whatchanged". In short, try to make it feel a bit more normal to those poor souls using CVS. Do some whitspace edits too, to make the side notes stand out a bit more.
2005-06-01tutorial.txt: fix typos and a'git-whatchanged' exampleLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-11/+11
Pointed out by Junio. I kant't speel.
2005-05-31Add first cut at a simple git tutorial.Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+413
This really is very basic stuff, no branches, no merging, no CVS imports. Let's start small.
