For now all you need to know about git is: * Create a local copy of repository: git clone REPO_URL For instance, git clone git://github.com/shlomif/catable.git If you get a GitHub account and fork catable, you can say git clone g...@github.com:YOUR_USERNAME/catable.git you will then be able to push changes back to you GitHub repo. * After changing a file in the local copy: git add filename * When you are done with modifications for a given feature/bug (all of the files added with add will get committed): git commit * When you want to push changes back to a writable remote repo: git push * When you want to get changes from a writable remote repo git pull You may want to sign up for github.com. This will let you fork projects like App::Catable. When you have your own fork you can push your changes to it and then issue a pull request to other people who have that project on GitHub. -- Chas.
