Git syntax for everyday tasks is so simple it really does not warrant a GUI. Looking at past branches and merges, well there a gui like gitk has real value. Create a new repository: $ git init Add files to stage: $ git add <directory or filename> Commit staged files to repository: $ git commit -m"commit message" Copy a repository: $ git clone [<protocol>://]<path/to/source/repository> </path/to/clone> Update and merge from a remote repository: $ git pull <protocol>://</path/to/source/on/remote> Update local commits to remote: $ git push Check local against remote: $ git fetch Look at local changes against remote $ git diff Unwind a local commit and preserve subsequent work: $ git reset --merge Abandon all local changes and reset to remote: $ git fetch; git status; git pull #all steps required in that order to place index in known state Ignore files and directories: $ vi .gitignore The rest of it, and there is a great deal of material in the rest of it, is rarely used. The supported protocols are git://, ssh:// and http(s)://. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
