thank dale. I'm using thunderbid and sometimes I have some mails that I
do not see and I have to query explicitly. I will read this full thread
and the doc.

Stef,
My introduction to git came largely from reading "A successful Git
branching model"[1]. I tried to think how to map this particular git
work flow to Metacello and long story short, decided to adapt
Metacello to git:)
It is also probably worth reading "What is a good Git workflow?"[2].
This article is more about how to use GitHub, but frankly the appeal
of git to me goes hand in hand with a good collaboration model and
GitHub does a good job supporting that.
The first time you read these articles don't pay attention to the
details, but try to get the overall flow/functionality and try to draw
parallels to the work the you do with Monticello and Metacello ... let
the thoughts marinate, ask some questions.
"Pro Git"[3] is a book/web site and would recommend that you take a
run through Chapter 2[4] to get a taste of git in action at the
command line and virtually everything that you need to know to work on
your own with git is covered in this chapter. Chapter 3[5] is on the
nitty gritty of branching ... but again at this stage you want to just
skim through the docs and get a feel of what is possible ... if
something doesn't make sense at this stage ...
ignore it:)
Now go back to the "What is a good Git workflow?"[2] paper and read
it in detail ... if you see a command/operation that you don't
understand google it or look it up in "Pro Git" or ask questions ...
Basically I am recommending that for your first foray into Git and
Smalltalk you will be trying to follow the "What is a good Git
workflow?"[2] model.
FileTree allows you save Monticello packages into a git repository,
but with FileTree you have to do all of the git commands from the
command line.
I'll let Thierry Goubier describe GitFileTree because I think it that
package does a bit of remote control ....
I think that it is possible to most if not all of the git work support
into the Smalltalk development environment ... I am doing that for
GemStone with tODE[6] and I do find myself going to the go to the
command line much less frequently ... but in tODE I have built a git
merge tool and a git diff tool ... you can get the git history of a
method from the browser, etc.
Without a relatively high degree of tool integration it can be clunky
to use git ... I am very willing to share what I've done/learned in
tODE with Pharo tool builders and of course I think Thierry Goubier
has actually been ahead of me in several different areas ...
Of course there are other git workflows out there and other git
collaboration sites besides GitHub...but is worth keeping things
simple at first (I think) and when you have mastered git/github basics
both personally and from a tool level, then it is a perfectly good
time to start looking at other workflows and tools, because then you
are able to make informed judgements ...
HTH,
Dale

Hi
I do not know the dif between git file tree, file tree.... and I
would like to know how to get
started with git in Pharo?
What should I read?
